EDITED BY
JOSEPH JACKSON HOWARD, LL.D., P.S.A.
VOLUME I.
NEW SERIES,
LONDON:
HAMILTON, ADAMS, AND CO., PATERNOSTER ROW,
1874,

MITCHELL AND HUGHES, PRINTERS,
WARDOUR STREET, W.
PREFATORY NOTE.
At the suggestion of many Subscribers to the original quarterly publication
of " Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica," the present work was started to
appear under the same Title, but at more frequent intervals, and at a reduced,
price.
The Editor has every reason to be satisfied with the reception which has
been accorded to the present volume ; and it is not proposed to prolong the
existence of the larger Miscellany beyond Volume II., which is now nearly
completed. It may be convenient to state, in this place, that the Quarterly
and Monthly series have been kept quite distinct as regards their contents.
There has been no reprinting.
The number of Subscribers continues to increase, and it is gratifying to
the Editor to find that his labours are appreciated not only in this country
but also in the United States. It was, indeed, to be expected that a pe-
riodical containing so large a proportion of inedited matter, extracts from
church registers, tabular pedigrees and the like, illustrating the descent
and arms of the more modern British families, should be found deserving
yj of encouragement by those zealous students of genealogy whose number is
daily increasing in the older English settlements of North America.
>\ The Volume now completed will be found to contain many original
^ documents of interest, and in particular several early wills, grants of arms,
and notes of curious deeds and seals, presenting, it is hoped, attractive matter
to the antiquarian public in general.
To all those friends whose contributions so liberally placed at his disposal
have materially furthered the design, the Editor for himself, and on the part
of the whole body of Subscribers, must offer his very cordial thanks.
No efforts will be spared to render the continuation of the work deserving
of the kind patronage which has been extended to the portion now completed.

CHAPMAN.
The following memoranda^ relate to the family of Sir John Chapman, Kt., the well-known Lord
Mayor of 1688, whose pedigree is very imperfectly exhibited in the Baronetages. Lord Macaulay
(Hist, of England, ii. 557) graphically describes the fatal agitation of the Lord Mayor when Lord
Chancellor Jeflreys was dragged before him, in the riots which followed the abdication of King
James, although he omits to mention his name. He says, " The Mayor was a simple man, who had
passed his whole life in obscurity, and was bewildered by finding himself an important factor in a
mighty revolution. The events of the last twenty-four hours, and the perilous state of the City
which was under his charge, had disordered his mind and his body. When the great man, at whose
frown, a few days before, the whole kingdom had trembled was dragged into the justice-room be-
grimed with ashes, half-dead with fright, and followed by a raging multitude, the agitation of the
unfortunate Mayor rose to the height. He fell into fits and was carried to his bed, whence he never
rose." It may be doubted, however, whether Macaulay has done justice to the political experience
of Sir John Chapman, for Sir John was one of the six aldermen of London, who were displaced in
1687 for opposing the address in favour of the Declaration of Indulgence ; and his contemporary
Dr. Scott, the Rector of St. Giles-in-the-Fields, praises in high terms the wisdom and prudence of
# The arms on seal are those of Penn impaling Springett, William Penn having married — at
Chalfont, in 1672 — Gulielma Maria, daughter of Sir William Springett. His first wife died 23rd
February, 1694. In 1696 he married Hannah, daughter of Thomas Callowhill, of Bristol.
f The Condicon of this Obligacon is such that wheras at the Intermarrage of the aboue bound
William Penn with Hannah daughter of the above named Thomas Callowhill he the said William
Penn then had and since hath receiued of and from the said Thomas Callowhill divers sums of Money

ffor or to the children Isue of their bodies if it please god to give them any. Now therefore if the
aboue bound William Penn his heirs Executors or Administr's doe and shall within six yeares

The Family of Trevor, etc.* — Since writing the account of the above family
in the pages of your truly valuable and interesting miscellany, I beg leave to correct
a mistake I made at p. 79 and to append a few further particulars. At p. 79 I stated
that Justin MacCarthy married secondly a daughter of Sir Thomas Hawes, Knt.,

of London. Now Justin was a member of the family of MacCarthys of " Gleann
a-Chroim," or the " Vale of Crom," and it was his brother Denis (eldest son of
Denis MacCarthy, Esq., of co. Cork, and of Squire's Mount, Harnpstead, by his
cousin Mary), who was father of Sir Charles Justin, Governor of Ceylon. Sir
Charles married, in 1848, Sophia Brunei, eldest daughter of Sir Benj. Hawes,
K.C.B., Under Secretary of War (M.P. for Lambeth 1832-47 and for Kinsale
1848-52). He was appointed Auditor- General of Ceylon in 1847, Colonial Secre-
tary of that island 1852, Governor in 1860, and died October, 1804. Daniel, nephew
of Charles Justin, author of the ' Life and Letters of Florence MacCarthy Reagh,
Tanist of Carbery,' married Harriet, daughter of Admiral Sir Home Popham.
James MacCarthy, a Lieutenant in the 21st (Royal North British Fusiliers)
regiment of the line, died at Barbadoes, January 23, 1842, leaving issue by his
wife, Isabella Gowland, four sons and a daughter, viz. 2, Edward Fredk. Augustus,
late of II.M.'s 21th (2nd Warwickshire) and 35th (Sussex) regiments ; 4, Thomas
James, born 1840, died of cholera at Morar Gwalior in 1861 ; 5, James Justin;
1, Henrietta Louisa, born 1835, died 1838; 3, Eliza Sarah Ann, married, in 1865,
Dr. Glen, a surgeon to the Indian Government. The father of James MacCarthy
was Edward, born 1768, married Sarah Bull, at St. Ann's, Westminster, 29th
November, 1789. He served in the 50th (West Kent, or Queen's Own) regiment,
and afterwards as Assistant Engineer of the Third Division, under Lieut.- General
Sir Thos. Picton, and was severely wounded at the storming of Badajos, at the
storming of Eort Napoleon, Almarez, and the battle of Corunna. He had issue, —
1, Sarah, born May 15, 1793. died at Slough, April, 1865, unmarried ; 2, Edw.
Denis, born June 24, 1795, died of dysentery and fever while Lieutenant com-
manding 1500 men in the bush against the Ashantees, buried at Cape Coast Castle,
married ; 3, William Justin, born July 24, 1797, late 84th (York and Lancaster)
regiment, retired Lieut.- Colonel, now living at Bedford, married ; 4, James born
24 August, 1801, died of yellow fever at Prince Rupert's Bay, Dominica, December,
1841, while serving as Lieutenant in the 3rd West India regiment.

Chuech Register.— I have in my possession part of a church register, and
give a short description of its contents, since I am anxious to restore it to the
book from whence the leaf has been torn out.
The fragment when folded forms four narrow folio pages, the first entries
being, —
" October 1670. the wife of M r Jeames Whelar was buryed the 21 day.
" October 1670. from the Swann. John Maynard was buryed the 26 day."
I extract a few others : —
" December 1670 John Rennolds was buryed the 9 day.
" Jeames the son of Jeames Wheler was buryed the 29 day.
" January, the wife of Edward Cotwell was buryed the 25 day.
" Abrill 1671 Mary the wife of Abell Stannard was buryed the 6 day.
" Lawrante ffinch was buryed the 22 day.
" July Rose Wilbe widdo was buryed the 24 day.
" Elisebeth daughtar of Jeames Harrison by Rose his wife was buryd the
28 day.
"August Johanna Osborne widdo was buryed the first day."
On satisfactory proof being furnished, I will, with pleasure, restore the frag-
ment to its proper place.

Easttiy.— (1.) In the List of the Vicars of the Parish of Eastry there is a gap be-
tween the year 1455, when John Craller, Rector of Hartleport, dioc. Lincoln, ex-
changed with Robt. Dekyn, Vicar of Eastry (Reg. Bouch. f. 60 b, Lambeth), and the
year 1517, when Richard Maister was collated to the vicarage, then vacant by the
death of the last incumbent, — name not mentioned (Reg. Warh. f. 363 b) ; and
although I have been able to fill up this gap partially with "Sir" William Craller in
1479 and Master Thomas Aschowe in 1487, from wills, yet still there remains a gap
between 1507, when Aschowe died, and 1517, when Maister was instituted. Can
you or any of your readers supply the name of the missing vicar ?
a.d. 1455, John Craller.
In 1479, " Sir " William Craller ; died 1487.
a.d. 1487, Master Thomas Aschowe ; died 1507.
a.d. 1517, Richard Maister, S.T.B.
(2.) Again, Thomas Sawyer was appointed vicar in 1553 (Hasted), and John
Lawson in January, 1557, o.s. (Reg. Pol. f. 76 a) ; but in the same register, Robert
Hill, who resigned, is mentioned as the predecessor of Lawson. Query, in what
year was Hill collated to Eastry ?
(3.) Also, in what year was Peter Lymiter (whose name and date of death,
a.d. 1580, we gather from the parish register) appointed ?
(4.) Can you give me any information respecting the family of Samuel Nicols,
appointed Vicar of Eastry 1590, died 1638/9 ? He seems to have been possessed
of some land in the parish, as he is mentioned in an old rental of 1633, and in the
terriers also, as the owner of lands adjoining the glebe. His daughter married
one of the Paramors of Statenborough. I judge from the fact of his having
bought (?) or inherited (?) lands in the parish that he must have been a man of
property, and perhaps also of family. Prior to his being Vicar of Eastry, he
appears to have been Rector of Little Mongeham in 1588.
If you or any of your correspondents can throw any light on the matters above
mentioned, I shall be very glad. W. F. S.
Frodsham. — Formerly a small bell was suspended outside the tower of Frods-
ham Church, Cheshire, and was called the " Dagtale " Bell, being rung (immediately
after the ordinary bells had ceased ringing) by a man, posted at a window or opening
in the tower, when he saw the vicar coming to celebrate service. What was the
origin of the practice, and word " Dagtale"?
2. Under the battlements on the east face of the same tower is a tablet, in
relief, containing the letters " iSfjO "; what do they signify ? On the south side
of Kirkby Malgdale (Craven?) Church-tower are the letters " G- NR." The ages
of all are perhaps of about the fifteenth century, — maybe much earlier. Double
Christian names were unknown, otherwise these initials might have belonged to
some builder or restorer of the churches. Is it possible they are the initials of
the several surnames of restorers ?
3. Can any correspondent refer me to any evidence of the founder of the family
of Sir Christopher Hatton, K.G., being brother of Nigel, first Baron of Halton,
Cheshire, and of such family being descended, maternally, from the old Counts of
Britagne and Dukes of Normandy ?
4. I am also desirous of knowing of what family were the Downes of Manby
(Lincoln) and Stockwell (Surrey), John the Regicide being of this stock.

Names op Places. — I wish to determine accurately the origin of the following
names of parishes in Essex: — Stifford, Grays, Little Thurrock, Chadwell, West Til-
bury, East Tilbury, Mucking, Stanford-le-Hope, Corringham, Fobbing, Horndon-on-
Hill, Laindon Hills, Bulphan, Orsett, North and South Ockendon, Rainham,
Wennington, Aveley, West Thurrock. Morant's derivations are often unsatisfactory.

The readers of the Chapman Pedigree (printed at page 6) will have observed that Sir John
Chapman, the Lord Mayor, and his son Sir William, both married into the family of Webb, & that
their wives were descended from a sister of Sir Henry Wood, Kt. and Bart., of Loudham Park, in
Suffolk. Sir Wm. Chapman was one of the Directors of the South Sea Company, and his estate
was confiscated by Parliament in 1721, on the collapse of that unfortunate scheme : but his sons
inherited considerable wealth from their mother's family. Sir Henry Wood, by his will and settle-
ment, both dated in May, 1671, had settled his great estates in Suffolk on his daughter Mary, after-
wards Duchess of Southampton, in strict settlement ; with remainder to his brother Thomas, Bishop
of Lichfield, in tail ; with remainder to his sister Lady Mary Chester in tail male ; with remainder
to his sister Elizabeth Webb in tail male ; with remainder to his own right heirs. On the death of
Charles Cranmer, alias Wood, Esq., in September, 1743, the last tenant in tail under these limita-
tions, the ultimate remainder to the heirs of Sir Henry came into effect, and the Wood estates were

endeavours to procure from the Parish Register of Whitby, if I can but have the
perusal of it : if not, I shall not know what to do ; for tho' their Parish Register
is not so old as ours, yet it must be larger because of the Number of Inhabitants,
& therefore will take up a great deal more Time.

Thomas Calverte, of Forton, in the parish of Cockerham, whose de-

Manwood. — I am anxious to obtain some information respecting the Manwood
family, seated at the commencement of the eighteenth century at Bromfield, in
Essex. The signature and seal of John Manwood, of Bromfield, occurs on a deed
in my possession, dated 30 October, 1704. Mention is made in this deed of Ka-
therine, wife of the said John Manwood.
A pedigree of the Manwoods is given in the Visitation of Kent, 1619, which
ends with the issue of Peter Manwood, of St. Stephen's, Knight of the Bath, by
Frances, daughter of Sir Greorge Hart, of Lullingston, Knt. On a seal used by
Roger Manwood, eldest son of this Peter Manwood, the pallets are represented as

Williams of Aberystruth, or Blaika Gwent, Monmouthshire. — The
founder of this family was Caradoc ap Brane, or Cradocke Vraich-vras (strong arm),
Duke of Gloucester, Earl of Hereford, Brecknock, and Radnor, Prince between
the "Wye and the Severn, called by the Romans, Caractacus, King of the Silures.
He married Tegiruron, daughter and sole heiress to King Pelinor, and drove the
Scots and Picts out of all her dominions. The arms of Williams are — Sable a
chevron between three spears' heads argent, embrued proper (denoting descent from
Caradoc) ; on a chief of the second, argent a wyverne's head erased vert, langued
gules, holding a sinister hand in its mouth proper, dropping blood (denoting de-
scent from Pelinor).
Oliver Cromwell comes down in a parallel line with this family from Sir Bichard
Williams, whose sister married Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Henry VIII. 's Chancellor.
This Sir Bichard Williams, after the execution of Lord Cromwell, assumed the
name of Cromwell, and Oliver was his great grandson ; but Sir Bichard' s brother
refused to change his name, and from him the present family are descended.
Thomas, Lord Cromwell, had a sister, who married a Morgan Williams, whose son
was ordered by Henry VIII. to take the name of Cromwell, and he became Sir
Bichard Cromwell, and was the grandfather of Oliver Cromwell. The arms borne
on the private carriage of Oliver Cromwell were the same as those which are borne
by Williams. Williams of Llangibby formerly bore the same arms, but on mar-
rying into the Adams family they have adopted the arms of Adams.
Any information respecting the family of Williams whose ancestors resided at
Havodavel, in the parish of Aberystruth, in the county of Monmouth, will be most
thankfully accepted.

Ciiolmondeley Arms. — In an ancient pedigree roll, temp. Henry VII., or
earlier, and in another ancient roll, being " Ye Kircke Role of ffrodesh' : of alle
y c Seates yn the Kyrke of S. llaur'. ther' & y c Chapelles thereof in Vigil' Assenc'
dom' Anno rr. Henrici septimi X.," are window- shields for several families be-
longing to the parish and of others connected therewith : among them, Chol-
mondeley, bearing " gules three garbs or." Anciently, I believe, the charges were
(/ides two mitres or in chief and a garb or in base, and so I took the blazon on these
rolls to be, until a closer inspection convinced me of the two chief charges being
garbs and not mitres. Can any of your correspondents inform me of any other
instance of a similar blazon ? The date of these would be about the opening of
the fifteenth century in the one case, and as early as the beginning of the four-
teenth century in the other. They are certainly intended for the Cholmondeley
arms, and may have been borne some time before the two mitres were adopted,
which in their turn were supplanted by the esquires' helmets.

Westcott Family. — The seal figured in the woodcut is appended to an inden-

S l Margaret in the liberty of Westminster, widow, "Relict and Executrix and De-
visee named in the last will and testament of Samuel Westcott late of the city of
Chichester in the county of Sussex gentleman deceased late one of the Lieute-

late Citizen and Apothecary of London deceased who was son and heir of John
Westcott of Ham in the parish of Kingston upon Thames in the County of Sur-

Westcott and mother of the said Samuel Westcott, being at Ham which was pur-
chased by the said John Westcott the father, of Nicholas Lane of Bailey Kelley
in the Kingdom of Ireland by deed dated 19 July 1658."
The autograph of Mary Susanna Westcott is in the fold of the deed. Can any
of your correspondents refer me to a pedigree of the Westcott family, and also
say whether this, seal, used by Mary Susanna Westcott, bears the arms of the
family.

Cosin - . Skinner. — In a pedigree of Dr. Cosin, Bishop of Durham, 1660-1672,
in Surtees's ' History of Durham,' i. pt. i. p. cvi, it is stated that one of his sisters,
Mary, married . . . Skinner. This lady appears to have been baptized at St. An-
drew's, Norwich, 27 April, 1606. I wish to obtain proof of this marriage, as well
as some further information regarding Mr. Skinner, and shall feel greatly obliged
by any communication on both or either points addressed direct to myself. The
marriage has been searched for at St. Andrew's, Norwich, but without success.

[The arms of Chester, as granted on 22 May, 1467, by William Hawkslow,
Clarencieux, to William Chester, of London, were enclosed " within a bordure
engrailed gules bezanty ; " but the bordure was disused by Sir John Chester, the
fourth baronet, and his descendants, although it appears on the monument of his
brother, Henry Chester, Esq., at East Haddon, who died in 1726.
Sir Francis Chester is in all the baronetages confused with his son. He was
the fifth son of Sir John Chester, fourth baronet, by Anne, daughter and coheir of
Wm. Wollaston, Esq , and was born at Shenton Hall, in Leicestershire, the seat
of the Wollaston family in 1693. He married, on 4 March, 1717-18, his cousin,
Bethia Webb, of whom and her son full particulars will be found in the pedigree
of Webb at page 15. On 25 May, 1755, he succeeded as the eighth baronet on
the death of his nephew, Sir Charles Bagot Chester, but he did not succeed to the
Chicheley estate, for it was alienated by the will of Sir Charles from the blood and
family of Chester. Sir Francis survived his only child, and died a lunatic at
Chelsea, 18 December, 1766. He was the last male descendant of the fourth
baronet, and on the death of his cousin and successor, Sir Anthony Chester, the
ninth baronet, 17 May, 1769, the male line of Chester became extinct.]

WILL OF HUMPHREY HALL OF GOLDINGS IN THE PARISH OF
BENGEO, CO. HERTFORD, GENT. DATED 30 JANUARY, 1690.
To be buried in Bengeo chancel, a fair stone or monument* to be set upon the
wall and a plain stone on my grave to keep it decent, forty pounds to be laid out
upon the monument. £50 to poor of Bengeo to be laid out in the purchase of
land the rent to be paid to them yearly on S 1 Thomas's Day. To my loving kins-
man and nephew Danyell Hall my brothers son my messuage called Goldings
wherein I live with the lands etc belonging, my lands at Branfield, lands at Haven
end in the parish of Standon, and lands at Wormeley for life, and to his first &c and
* This passage in Chauncy's ' Antiquities of Hertfordshire,' folio ed., p. 269, refers to the above
monument: —
"There is no Gravestone, nor other remark in this Church, (Bengeo), more than that Mr. Hum-
phrey Hall, who had a fair House in this Parish, called Thomsons, where he lately died, and was
buried in this Parish-Church ; his Executor as I am informed has provided a fair Marble to cover
him ; but I could not obtain a sight of the Inscription, therefore cannot insert it ; however I ought
to let the World know that he frequented the Church, was beloved by the Gentry ; just to his
Neighbour, and Charitable to the Poor ; and by his Will dated 30 Jan, 1690, gave 501 to be laid
out in a Purchase of Fifty Shillings per Annum to be paid Yearly to the Poor of this Parish.'' See
also Salmon's ' History of Hertfordshire,' under Bengeo ; Clutterbuck's ' History of Co. Hertford,'
vol. ii. p. 29. Thomsons was another name for Goldings, for in the Kegister of Burials at Bengeo,
the interment of Humphrey Hall's wife I find thus entered :— " 1689. July 5. Mrs. Hall of
Goldings alias Tomsins in y s Parish, Aff 1 ."
The following entry is from an old parish book now at Bengeo : —
"May y e 2 nd 1717. Memorand. Tis agreed at a vestry this day held y» y e vicar & churchwarden
& overseers for y e poor of our par sh of Bengeo shall ha' power to employ a proper Attorney to sue
for y e Legacy left to ye poor of our par sh by Humphry Hall Gent deceased."
What may have been the result of this resolution I am unable to say ; but Humphrey Hall's
charity is not now known in Bengeo.

Children of Christs Hospital in fee. Furniture in House at Goldings to said Danyell
Hall for life and if he leaves a son to such son he paying to my neice Dorothy Hall
the daughter of my nephew £200. If Danyell Hall dies without a son my pictures
shall always go with the house to remain therein and not be removed elsewhere.
My desire is that if my estate ever happens to come to the said Hospital that they
will endeavour to have a tenant or other good person of my name (Hall) to live in
Goldings house. Witnesses, Thomas Gouge, Jo Chauncy* Sen 1 ', John Chauncy
Jim 1 ', Ann Handcock. Proved in the Prerogative court of Canterbury by Daniel
Hall, 17 Dec r 1701. (Dyer 1G8.)
The above cut is taken from the seal to the original will, and is curious as affording a presump-
tion that it was of much older date than 1690. Humphrey was the son of Thomas, and grandson
of John Hall, who respectively recorded their pedigrees at the Visitations of London in 1568 and
1633. Vide ' Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica,' vol. ii. p. 255. In both the arms are entered
as, argent three talbots' heads erased sable between nine cross crosslets gules. The seal of Hum-
phrey Hall, however, altogether omits the cross crosslets, and shows merely the three talbots' heads
erased. It is, however, evident that Humphrey did not purposely omit the cross crosslets ; for on his
monument, now remaining in the old parish church of Bengeo, they appear plainly enough, and
have been ever since used by his descendants. This naturally suggests the inquiry as to whether lie
was entitled to the coat without the cross crosslets. Had the seal been engraved for Humphrey
Hall, the omission of the cross crosslets might have been an error of the engraver ; but I incline to
think this was not the case for two reasons : first, because the appearance of the impression is, in
my opinion, that of a seal of older date than Humphrey Hall's time ; and secondly, because I can
show some probability that he was descended out of a family who bore for arms three talbots' heads
erased without the addition of ctoss crosslets. The cross crosslets may have been merely a mark of
cadency assigned by the Heralds. The Halls of Henwick, co. Worcester, and of Leicestershire, who
were of the same family, bore them azure instead of gules ; thus affording a strong presumption that
they were differences added to the original coat for younger branches.
John Hall, before mentioned, was son of Thomas Hall, of Warnham, co. Sussex, and I conjec-
ture that he was one of the descendants of Richard Hall, of Howland, in Hoathley, co. Sussex, who
bore, according to Harleian MS., 1484, fo. 67 b, argent three talbots' heads erased sable. This coat
is given with different tinctures in Benolte's Visitation of Sussex in Coll. Arms.

These latter must have been living about the same time as Thomas of Warnham, and were of

phrey, was of kin to a Thomas of Horsham,f but in what degree I have not as yet been able to
* There was probably a connection between the Chauncys and Humphrey Hall. Anne, sister to
Sir Henry Chauncy, married Henry Hall, of Poplar, who bore the same arms as Humphrey Hall.
The Halls of Poplar I believe to have been descended from Daniell Hall, citizen and cloth worker,
of London, who was buried at St. Nicholas Aeon, 25 June, 1625. He may possibly have been a
brother of John Hall, of London, draper, who was grandfather of Humphrey Hall. I shall be glad
of any information as to the Halls of Poplar, who were subsequently of Wickford, co. Essex, where
they remained till the latter end of the last century.

VAWDREY INSCRIPTIONS.
Bowden Church, Cheshire.*
[These inscriptions were discovered a few years ago on the occasion of rebuilding the church.
The one commemorating William Vawdrey has since disappeared, but probably it may only be
turned over.
Owlerbarrow is distant about half a mile from Bowden Church, and is in the township of
Hale.
In 1761 the estate of Owlerbarrow was advertised for sale by the then owner, Mr. Thomas
Ashley, and consisted of 24 acres, a pew in Bowden Church, and subject to a small chief rent of
10c/. per year. The house is a plain building of brick, having been rebuilt shortly before 1761.
Bank, or Bank Hall as it is now called, also in the township of Hale, is of brick, rebuilt about
1761, but showing some slight remains of an older brick building. During some repairs, the date
1607 was found on a beam, but was thoughtlessly thrown among the firewood and burnt. A portion
of the moat still remains.]

SKIPPON FAMILY.
The celebrated Major-General Philip Skippon commanded the infantry, for the
Parliament, at the battle of Naseby, and was grievously wounded. He had £1000 a
year lands of inheritance assigned to him by the Parliament. The Duke of Buck-
ingham's estate at Bletchley, co. Bucks, was given him, but at the Restoration it
reverted to the Crown. He had an estate at Foulsham, Norfolk, devised to him
by his uncle, Win. Skippon, Esq., of Tavistock, co. Devon.
The family Bible of the General is now the property of Nathl. Barnardiston,
Esq., of the Byes, near Sudbury, Suffolk, and the numerous entries by the General
and his son, Sir Philip Skippon, are, with his leave, copied from it. It is the quarto
" breeches " Bible of 1610, ancient embossed black leather binding, with brass
clasps, red lined, and texts very much marked under with ink, many of them appli-
cate to the political as well as religious enthusiasm of the Skippons.
In addition to the genealogical evidence given 'by the entries, it may be stated
that the son, Sir Philip, was buried at Ketton, in Suffolk, 14 August, 1691, and his
daughter Mary at the same time, with the ancestors of his second wife, the ancient
family of Barnardiston. The only surviving son of Sir Philip by his first wife,
sold the Foulsham estate, 1715, and was buried at Edwardstone,* Suffolk, 10 Sep-
tember, 1716, as " Philip Skippon Esq re ." He appears to have been the last male
of the name.
The Major-General was son of Luke Skippon, who died 1638, and had another
son, Luke, Vicar of South Lynn, Rector of Wissingset, Norfolk, and Master Elect
of Peter House, Cambridge, whose four children named in Blomefield's ' Norfolk '
appear to have died without issue, and one not named, Susan, married Clement
Heigham, Esq., and was buried at Barrow, Suffolk, 1695.
Sir Philip Skippon married the niece of Saml. Barnardiston, the first Bound-
headf who was created Baronet after the Restoration. It was for passages in
letters to Sir Philip that Sir Saml. Barnardiston was impeached and tried before
Judge Jeffreys, 1683, and fined £10,000, and long imprisoned. (See ' State Trials.')
It is remarkable that on the trial no use appears to have been made of the fact
that the intercepted letters were to his nephew, therefore the charge of " mali-
ciously and seditiously " writing them was the more unreasonable. This case of
oppression has lately been alluded to in the House of Lords, with reference to re-
flections on Ministers of the Crown, in letters.
In Ketton Church is a handsome mural monument for Sir Philip Skippon, with
his arms quartering the arms of both his wives : —
1 and 4. Skippon. Gules, five annulets, or.
2. Brewster. Sable, a chevron between three etoiles, argent.
3. Barnardiston. Azure, a fesse dancette ermine, between six crosses crosslet,
argent.
The notes at the beginning of the Bible are written by Major-General Skippon
and those at the end by his son Sir Philip.
In extreamitate maxima me juvit et juvabit Jehovah.
This Bible mentioned in my testament is for my sonne Luke Skippon, let him
haue it.
* Mary, daughter of Sir Thos. Barnardiston, Bart., sister to Anne, Lady Skippon, married
Sir Josh. Brand, Kt., of Edwardstone, and there were several other marriages connecting the
Skippons with the family of Brand.

Morton. — The marriage of Emanuel Morton, of Ackworth, Yorkshire, with
Ann Bradley, of Bawtry, is recorded in the Bawtry registers. This marriage took
place in January, 1656. Cornelius, their eldest son, was baptized November 5,
1657, and Thomas, another son, was buried July 2, 1673. Ann Morton was buried
April 9, 1679, being then a widow.

"In 1604, John Luff, a retainer of Sir Remold Mohun, dedicated a small work
on armoury, or heraldry, to his patron. It is in quarto, but of no great value,
except for some arms of Cornish gentlemen, taken out of church-windows, etc.,

Hesketh Quarterings. — It may be worth noting that the quarterings of De
Baux, Anjou, and Luxembourg, which form the twenty-third and twenty-fourth of
the shield of Hesketh (' Miscellanea Genealogica,' Vol. II. p. 149) have no busi-
ness there. Jaqueline of Luxembourg, Duchess of Bedford, and afterwards wife
of Sir Richard Widvile, Lord Rivers, from whom so many English families descend,
was not an heiress in blood. Her brother Louis, Constable of France, had issue
Peter, who, by Mary of Savoy, left a daughter and sole heiress, Mary, wife of
Francis de Bourbon. So long as any descendant of Henry IV. of France exists,
no one descended from the Countess of Rivers can quarter the arms of Luxembourg
in her right. Again, Margaret de Baux, wife of Peter de Luxembourg, was not
an heiress in blood, nor was she daughter of Francis de Baux, by Beatrix of Anjou,
but by Justine de Ursini, his third wife, and could have no pretensions to quarter
the arms of Aniou.

MISCELLANEA GENEALOGICA ET HERALDICA.
The Undeehills of New Place. — William Underbill, the owner of the
house at Stratford-upon-Avon which afterwards became the residence of Shak-
speare, was the second son of Edward Underbill, of Nether Eatington, in South
Warwickshire. He was born in 1522 or 1523. His elder brother, Thomas, who is
included by Fuller among the ' Worthies of Warwickshire,' was celebrated for his
exemplary life, hospitable disposition, and (though last, not least) family of twenty
children.
The subject of the present notice having studied the law, became a member of
the Inner Temple. He is incorrectly described as " Clerk " in a pedigree pre-
served in the College of Arms.
About 1544, under the will of his grandfather, John Underbill, he became en-
titled to a property in Staffordshire (the family originally came from Wolver-
hampton), and some eight years later he married Ursula, the youngest daughter of
John Congreve, Esq., of Congreve. Of this lady it is recorded that " her life was
a spectacle unto all honest, virtuous, and obedient wives." The names of five
children are given in the Herald's Visitation as the issue of this marriage, — Wil-
liam, Dorothy, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Anne.
In 1551, Edmund Bury passed to his brother-in-law, William Underhill, the
manor of Barton-upon-the-Heath, which place, it will be remembered, is referred
to in the introduction to the ' Taming of the Shrew.' This transfer seems to have
been made for family reasons only, as the estate reverted to the Burys at a later
period.
In September, 155G, he presented Dr. Eoger Clerke to the living of Idlicot, of
which he held the patronage.
In May, 1561, his wife died and was buried at N. Eatington, and, after a time,
he married again. His second wife was Dorothy, widow of Richard Newport, and
only sister of Christopher Hatton, who subsequently became Lord Chancellor.
In 1567 he purchased the mansion in Stratford-on-Avon known as "New
Place," and the following year, bought the manor and estate of Idlicot. At that
time he was described as \V illiam Underhill, gent., of Newbold Revel.
Malone, in referring to certain Stratford records relating to the transfer of
land, mentions an indenture, executed May 30, 156S, between William Clopton,
Esq., of the one part, and Sir Robert Throgmorton, Sir Thomas Lucy, Edmond
Plowden, Esq., William Underhill, Esq., of Newbold Revel, and others, of the other
part.
Under date January 26, 1569, the Council-book of Stratford-on-Avon has the
following entry, which probably refers to him :- — " Item payd for a dyner for M r
Underell at the Swanne 17 s 4 d ."
Still acquiring property, he purchased, in 1569, the manor of Loxley. The
same year his wife, Dorothy, died. Her will, made with the sanction of her hus-
band, directs that the property which had come to her on the death of her son
John Newport should pass to her second husband, in consideration of the advances
he had made for the payment of her debts.
Dugdale states that William Underhill died March 31, 1570. In his will, made
on the previous December, he described himself as of Newbold Revel, and directed
that he should be buried at N. Eatington. To his heir he left the third part of all
his manors, lands, and tenements, the rest — the manor of Idlicot being held in
capite — to his executors, to fulfil the intents and meaning of his will and to bring
up his children.
His marble memorial has portraitures in brass and escutcheons of the arms of
Underhill impaling those of Congreve. The inscription is given by Dugdale.
Of his daughters it may be added that one was married to John Harman, of
Morehall; and another, Anne, to George Mathew, of Berkswell.
William Underhill, the only son and heir of the foregoing, was born in 1554,
and was in his seventeenth year at the time of his father's decease. About 1577
he married his cousin Mary, daughter of Tho. Underhill, of Eatington, and resided
at New Place. In 1578 his eldest son and heir, Fulk, was born. In 1583 he pre-
MISCELLANEA GENEALOGICA ET HERALDICA.

sented, as patron, a clerk to the living of Idlicot. On the 25th of November, 1585,
the registers of Stratford state that " Elizabeth d r of M William CJndrell " was
baptized. The following year, according to the Stratford records, a writ of capias
was issued against him as bail for one Erancis Stone, and at the suit of Richard
Dixon.
A survey taken in 1590 states that at that time " Willielmus Underbill, gen.
tenet libere quandam domum vocatam " The Newe Place " cum pertinentiis per
reddit. per annum 12 d sect, cur." The same survey informs us that he also held
in " Walker's strete unum horreum," etc.
In 1595, declining to pay to the corporation of Stratford the rent of the tithes
of Little Wilnecott,* which had been leased to him, a bill of complaint was lodged
by the bailiff and burgesses, and to this he put in his answer and demurrer in
February, 1596-7.
Under date March 11, 1597, the Stratford records allude to an action brought
by " William Underehylle gent." against John Smith, vintner, on a plea of debt.
On the 8th of April, in the same year, Walter Bassett, gent., and Sconsolate,
his wife, bind themselves, under a penalty, to William Underhill, of Utlicote, co.
Warwick, Esquire, in respect of the manor of Hints, near Lichfield.
About the same period one Tho. Huntbach filed a Bill in Chancery against Wil-
liam and Foulk Underhill, to enforce the agreement made to sell him a farm and
lands at Shustoke.
In Easter term, 1597, William Underhill sold to Shakspeare, for £60, the house
at Stratford known as "New Place." The property is described as consisting of
one messuage, two barns, and two gardens, with their appurtenances. It had been
in the Underhill family thirty years.
William Underhill is said to have been poisoned at Eillongley. He made his
will July 6, 1597, and it was proved in London in the following month. In the
Inq. p. m. taken at W olverhampton, where he held property, he is described as of
Eillongley : the original is preserved in the Rolls Office. To his eldest son, Eulk,
he gave all his lands, and to each of his remaining sons £200, — they were Her-
cules, Timothy, Ludowick, William, and Simon : of these, Hercules was knighted,
and became heir on the death of Eoulke in 1598, and of him Shakspeare purchased
a messuage in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1602.
The arms of the Stratford Underhills were " Argent a chevron gules between
three trefoils slipped vert ;" and the crest is usually given as " a hind lodged or on
a mount vert," but an old seal of the Underhills in the possession of Mr. Evelyn
Ph. Shirley exhibits it as "a buck trippant."

Lucas (p. 22). — William Lucas, of Middletown, married Esther Clark,
July 12, 1666. She died April 15th, and he died April 20th, 1690, leaving issue
William Lucas, born April 26, 1667 ; John Lucas, born October 14, 1669 ;
Mary Lucas, born 5th December, 1672 ; Thomas Lucas, born . . . 1676 ; and
Samuel Lucas, born April 15, 1682. A Mr. Lucas resided at Newhaven iu
1643 with a family of six, of whom no more is heard. A Lucas family of
good estate in New England is of French desceut. They came not very
early across the ocean. The first emigrant, Augustus Lucas, writes of himself, —
" I married 6 th January, 1696, at St. Malo, in Bretagne " (see James Savage's ' Ge-
nealogical Dictionary,' vol. iii.). Several of the name of Lucas resided at Col-
chester some two hundred years ago, but I cannot find that any of them emigrated
to New England at the time corresponding with the above William. There was a
John Lucas, Abbot of Waltham, co. Essex, in 1460: he died 1475. I should feel
MISCELLANEA GENEALOGICA ET HEEALDICA.

glad to learn some account of that individual, — as to what branch of the Lucas
family he belouged, and where he was buried. I have a rubbing of a monumental
brass from Lofts Wendon Church, Essex, with this inscription upon it : — ;< Eic jacent
WhTus Lucas et Katerina Uxor ejus, quorum animabus PPicietur Deus, Amen."
Cole, in his MS. vol. xxxv. p. 28, states the following : — " Under this ere y Figures
in Brass of 4 sons and as many Daughters (w ch in the sketch on y opposite Side I
have mede too large in Proportion), the eldest Son is habited as a Bishop or Abbat,
with a Mitre on his Head & a Crosier in his left hand, & giving his Benediction
with his right : But as there never was a prelate of that name of Lucas except
John Lucas, who was chosen Lord Abbat of Waltham ab* 1460, & who died 1475,
this determines it to be meant for him : in all probability, therefore, this was his
native Place, this account I sent to my Friend Brown "Willis Esq." The arms and
date are quite gone.

Matjduit (p. 36).— "In the spring of 1669, Cosmo III., Grand Duke of Tus-

at the New Inne (sometimes called Merchants' Hall), and ... for the more orderly
doing thereof, M r Mawdett, M r Brodridge, and M r Sparke were desired to assist
the Beceiver therein." — 4 Act Books of the Chamber of Exeter, 5 vol. ix. p. 86 ;
quoted by Dr. Oliver, 1 History of Exeter,' p. 135.
" Isaac Mawditt " was Mayor of Exeter in 1673, and again in 1681. Did he,
then, die in 1674, or were these two Isaacs, father and son ?
" Isaac Mawditt and Stephen Olivean " were Sheriffs of the County of the
City of Exeter in 1663, and Isaac Mawditt again in 1670.
" Nongecot (near Tiverton) anno 27 of King Henry 3, belonged unto Bobert

Oldaport, in the parish of Modbury. — " W T illiam de Heanton, of Oldport, which
by Jone his wief, daughter and heire of Walter de Sweinthil], had issue J one, wief
of Bichard Malduit, called Somaister." — lb. p. 313.
The pedigree of "Somaster [of Pensford] " is thus given by Westcote, p. 551 : —
" Bichard Maldyt, called Southmaster,* of Exon, married Joan, daughter and heir
of William de Henton, and had issue Bobert ; who married Margaret, daughter
and heir of John Herward, of Bothkison, and Joan, his wife, daughter and
heir of John le Cornu, by whom he had issue Balph, William, Adam. This
Bobert died before his father ; he sealed with the gate : which arms came to him
by his mother, whose grandmother was daughter and heir to De la Port [of Olda-
port]. William, of JNetherexe [close to Exeter], second son, had a daughter and
heir married to [John] Limpenny. — From Adam Somaster is descended Somaster
of Pensford," whose pedigree Westcote gives at p. 500, and the arms, — " Argent, a
castle triple-towered between eight fleurs-de-lis [sable] . Crest, — A portcullis, with
chains, argent. This part was granted for a crest by Clarence Cooke, 14th March,
1586, under his hand and seal."*
I find no notice of Balph : "William, the second son, married Alice daughter of
John Prideaux, of Adeston, near Modbury, and had issue William, whose son John
died without issue. JSTetherexe passed to John Limpenny, mentioned above, and
was sold by him to William Hurst, of Exeter.— Pole, p. 190.
Probably the Exeter Mauduits were a branch of this very ancient family.

of London, merchant, dated 23 March, 1699, are the seals of Dorothy Crow and
William Disher. That of Dorothy Crow is here given. The seal used by William
Disher is much mutilated. The arms appear to be a chevron between three double-

sons John, Heigham, Robert, William, and Thomas, also his daughters Anne,
Susan, and Jane. Anne married Edward Aylmer, D.D., of Claydon Hall, Suffolk,
a grandson of the Bishop of London. Information respecting any of his family

Riciiard Stonelet. — Information is requested respecting Richard Stoneley,
one of the Tellers of the Exchequer, originally of Warwick, and who purchased —
in the year 1579, of the Oxford family — Dodinghurst, in Essex. He married (see
Burke's ' Commoners,' "Taylor of Clifton ") Anne, daughter and coheir of John
Braunche, Esq., by Ellen, daughter and coheir of Francis Hampden, and had issue
two daughters, coheiresses, — Dorothy, married to William Dawtrey, of Moor
House, Sussex, and Anne, the wife of William LTeigham, of East Ham, Essex.
The arms of Stoneley were, — Azure on a fesse between three bucks' heads
caboshed or a fleur-de-lis of the first between two demi-roses gules. And Anne
(who married Heigham) and her descendants quartered with this coat, — Azure a
fesse between three scythe-blades (or horns) or.
This quartering does not agree either with the arms of Braunche or Hampden ;
it is more like the coat of Brayne of Gloucestershire. Can any of your corre-
spondents offer an explanation '{

Sib, G-eorge Smith, Knight. — I am extremely anxious to establish the identity
between the Sir G-eorge Smith (or Smythe), of Matford, co. Devon, knight, alluded
to in Westcote's ' View of Devonshire,' 1845, pp. 187, 470, 631 : and Burke's
' Landed Grentry,' title " Granville of Wellesbourne :" the Sir G-eorge Smyth, of
Motford, co. Dorset, referred to in the Harleian MSS. 1166, fo. 9 ; 1451, fo. 17 ;
1539, fo. 96 : and G-eorge Smith, of Mudford, co. Somerset, whose name occurs in
Hutchins's ' Dorset,' first edition, 1774, vol. i. p. 151 ; second edition, 1796, vol. i. p.
248 ; third edition, 1861, vol. i. part iii. p. 408. All the Sir G-eorge Smiths above
mentioned lived in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. I presume that Matford, co.
Devon, Motford, co. Dorset, and Mudford, co. Somerset, are in reality the same
place, and that a clerical error has been committed by the transcribers of the
Harleian MSS. I may add that I have private reasons of my own for coming to
this conclusion, but I wish to be confirmed in my view of the case. My object
would be fully attained if I could ascertain the names of all the daughters of Sir
G-eorge Smith, of Matford, and of the gentlemen of quality to whom they were
married.
Thomas Parr Henning.
P.S. — I find upon consulting Westcote, p. 631, that Sir George Smith formed
two matrimonial alliances. Perhaps this circumstance would assist in throwing
light upon the point in question.

MEMORANDA RELATING^ TO THE ARCHBOLD FAMILY
OF ALNWICK. +
The Archbolds were a family of importance in Alnwick for at least a century
and a half. William, the first recorded, was at South Park in 1650, and John, the
last of them in Alnwick, died there in 1805. Successive members of the family

Charles, a copy of which is in the Lansdowne Collection, British Museum.
f Strype states that this monument stood against the wall of the north aisle of chancel.

were bailiffs to the Earls of Northumberland, tenants of Cawledge South Park
— still called Arehbold's Park, — and owners of considerable property in the parish
of Alnwick. St. Thomas's lands, formerly part of the possessions of Alnwick
Abbey, and other fields, and several burgages in the town belonged to them.
They loom largely in Alnwick Church : on the monumental limestone slab " Gulielmi
Archbold," their arms, a lion rampant between six fleurs-de-lis, and crest, a fleur-
de-lis, are grandly sculptured, and they appear, too, with the initials I. A. and date
1711, on the lintel of a doorway of one of the burgages which belonged to them.
The Archbolds were a long-lived race. William, the first of them, died in
1700, aged 82 years ; John, the next, died in 1730, aged 7 6 years ; Edward, the
third in succession, died in 1764, aged 79 years ; and John, the last of them, in
1805, aged 83 years : so that the united ages of four successive generations amount
to three hundred and twenty years.

Hawoeth oe Howoeth Pedigeee. — A branch of this ancient family migrated
from Haworth, in the township of Hundersfield, near Eochdale, on the borders of
Yorkshire and Lancashire, and settled in Snaith for some generations, and then
came to Hull in the latter half of the seventeenth century.
Dr. James, in the ' Iter Lancastrense,' written 1636, thus describes his visit to
Haworth Hall : —
" To Eobin Howorth from whose Eamilie
Great Noble Peers derive their progenie."
This Eobin Howorth was born in 1600 and succeeded his father, Edmund
Howorth, of Howorth, and is mentioned by Sir Eichard St. G-eorge in his Visita-
tion of Lancaster in 1613. He was the twenty-second in lineal descent from
Osbert Howord de Howord, who was Master of the Buck-hounds in the time of
Henry II., and who received certain lands in Howord for his good and faithful
services to his sovereign.
The Snaith and Hull parish registers contain the following entries : —
" Adam Hawworth married 1540 Allyson Greene." (Snaith.)
" Hen. Haworth married 1568 Agnes Lambert." (Whitgift.)

entries were made, e.g. from 1657 to 1661.
* I much wish to ascertain the names of the father and mother of Mrs. Mary
Haworth and date of her marriage.
Also the date of the marriage of Joshua Haworth and Dorothy Stephenson.
Also the date of baptism and the parentage of Peter Haworth, of Rawcliife and
Snaith, and some further account of his first wife, Jane.
I shall be especially thankful for any particulars respecting the early members
of the Haworth family who settled at Snaith, so as to connect them directly with
the family, and later owners of Haworth Hall during the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries.
Also for information, from the Court Rolls of Snaith or otherwise, as to Henrie
Heworth or Haworth, who married Agnes Lambert, and Thomas Haworth, who
married Mary Baynton.
The arms of Stephenson of Swinefleet, near Snaith, were — Grules on a bend

from that family ?

MISCELLANEA GENEALOGICA ET HERALDICA.
White Family. — John White carne to Ireland, from England, in a year
between 1695 and 1702. I have some faint recollection of hearing that he came
from Kent. He purchased lands which had been forfeited by the adherents of King
James in 1702, in the counties of Limerick and Tipperary, in which a Mr. John
Marshall was a partner for a part, lie lived and died at Cappagh, in the county
of Tipperary, which is still called Cappagh White, after him. He died in 1718.
His first wife was Susanna, sister to Richard Newport, Esq., of Longford, in the
county of Limerick ; she died 7th December, 1700, and was buried in the family
vault at Toem, co. Tipperary. His second wife was Catherine Mann, a widow :
she was sister to Lord Muskerry (Deane) . His children by his first wife were
Richard, Newport, Rebecca, and Catherine.
Rev. Newport White married Fanny Forster. His sons were, — John, married
Catherine Hunt ; Richard, died at Smyrna, in Asia Minor ; Newport, married Mary
levers.
Newport's youngest son, Benjamin, married Catherine, eldest daughter of New-
port White, eldest son of John and Catherine. His three sons were Rev. Newport
Benjamin, Rev. Henry Vere, and John Davis.
John White, first named, had three half-brothers, who came to Ireland at the
same time as he did. His mother's name was Schuldam. They were the children
of a Miss Hamilton. Their names were Benjamin, William, and Hamilton. Ben-
jamin was ancestor of the branch of the family known as the Whitehall branch,
Finch White, of Kincora, near Killaloe, being the representative ; William, of the
Whites of Greenhall, New Ross, and Manister ; Hamilton, of the Bantry family
(Earl of Bantry).
When Richard White was created Baron Bantry, he of course applied for a
grant of arms. The heralds gave him the arms of Sir Thomas White, of Rick-
mansworth, who was Lord Mayor of London in 1555, and these arms are now
adopted by every branch of the family. I think the arms should more properly
have been those of Sir William White, who was Lord Mayor of London in 1489,
— in which there are three covered cups, and three martlets upon a chevron, as I
was told that there was some old family plate which had " covered cups " as part
of the arms.*
The following arms are on the seal used by John White attached to a lease
made by him : — A chevron between three roses ; Crest, An arm embowed holding
a sword. There was an old family of Whites in Clonmel, and on a tombstone
belonging to one of the family, date about 1550, the arms were the same as on the
seal used to the lease.
I am anxious, if possible, to ascertain if there is any tradition among any family
of my name in any part of England, of four brothers, as above named, having come
to Ireland about the time named ; and also whether by the aid of what I have
stated about the coat of arms, my family can be identified with any of the name at
present living in England.

GENEALOGICAL MEMORANDA RELATING TO THE FAMILY OF
BRAY OF BARRINGTON, CO. GLOUCESTER AND BERKS.
Compiled from the Records op the College of Arms, London, and prom
OTHER AUTHENTIC SOURCES OP INFORMATION, BY G. E. ADAMS, Esq., LAN-
CASTER Herald.
A deed, dated 3 May, 1633, relating to tliis ancient famity, is in the possession of
Charles Golding, Esq.
It appears to be the settlement made shortly after the marriage of Reynald (sic)
Bray, son and heir apparent of Sir Giles Bray, of Barrington, Knt., with Martha,
daughter of Peter Humble, late of Goosehayes, co. Essex, Esq., deceased, whereby
the said Sir Giles settles his manors of Great and Little Barrington and his lands
there on trustees (viz. Sir Robert Quarles, of Romford, co. Essex, Knt., and John
Hide, of London, gent.) to use of himself for life, remainder to his wife Dame
Anne for her life, remainder to said Reynald Bray for life, remainder (as to the
capital mansion and part of the estate) to said Martha for her life, remainder to
issue of said Reynald in tail male, remainder to Edmund Bray, second son of said
Sir Giles, for life, and his issue in like manner ; and (as to the residue of the
estate after the death of said Reynald Bray) to the issue of the said Regnald in
tail general, with remainder to said Edmund and his issue in like manner, remainder
(as to the whole) to the right heirs of the said Sir Giles Bray.
This Reginald Bray died in his father's lifetime, leaving a son, Edmund, who
had inherited his mother's lands in Essex before 16 March, 164f, as Sir Giles, by
his will of that date, desires the Court of Wards to raise money for him out of
those lands and not out of his (own) lands, co. Gloucester, Oxon, and Berks. This
will was proved by Dame Ann Bray, 14 May, 1641, and again 19 November, 1657,
by Edmund Bray, Esq., son and next of kin to testator, who appears to have been
afterwards made a knight.
Signature and Seal of Sir Giles Bray, of Barrington, Knight, from Deed dated 3 May, 1633.
The seal appended to deed is quarterly of four coats, of which the first and second
are both the well-known coats of " Bray." The third quarter is for " Monington,"
and is allowed by Cooke, Clarenceux, temp. Eliz.,to "Monington, formerly of Corn-
wall " [query if not Cornwall in Oxfordshire]. In the Visitation of Herefordshire
made in 1569 it is quartered in the second and third quarters by the Moningtons of
that" county, and stated in a marginal note to be the coat with which Sir John Lawton,
Knt., sealed (temp. Ed. III.), whose daughter and heiress, Eleanor, married into
the family of Monington. The fourth quarter is for " Harman," though, strangely
enough, it also is quartered in the second and third quarters by the Harmans of
Taynton, in Oxfordshire —the first and fourth being " Sable three currycombs
argent."
A short pedigree will show more clearly how these quarterings are brought in,

MISCELLANEA GENEALOGICA ET HERALDIC A.
SKIPPON FAMILY.
Skippon Family (p. 37). — In the notice of the Skippon family introductory
to the entries copied from the Bible and given in the July number, it is said that
Philip, the grandson, buried at Edwardstone in 1716, appears to have been the last
male of the name. This is not strictly correct, for although he was undoubtedly
the last male descendant of the Parliamentary General, there were persons who
bore the name, and whom I believe to have been descendants of collaterals, living
within the present century, and the name is not extinct in Norfolk even now.
Of the immediate line to which the General belonged the following additional
particulars may not be unacceptable : —
William Skippon, Esq., who died at Tavistock on 1 January, 1633/4, was pos-
sessed of an estate at Eoulsham, Wood Norton, and Bintry, in Norfolk, which, by
his will, dated 5 August, 1631, he devised " to Captaine Philippe Skippon, eldest
sonne of my brother Luke Skippon," and the heirs male of his body. Luke
Skippon, brother of said Philip, and Erancis Skippon, son of Erancis Skippon de-
ceased and testator's nephew, were in remainder. Luke Skippon, the testator's
brother and heir at the time of his death, was sixty years old.*
Luke Skippon, of West Lexham, gent., the brother, died there 20 September,
1638 ; Philip Skippon, described as " of Eoulsham, Esq.," his son and heir, being
forty years of age.f On the same day, 20 September, 1638, probate was granted
to Anne Skippon, his relict, of " notes taken for the making of the last will and
Testament of Luke Skippon of West Lexham gent,," dated 4 September, 1638, by
the Archdeaconry Court of Norwich. In these, Philip, his son, was the principal
devisee. He also mentions Luke Skippon, his grandchild, and his grandchildren,
William, Luke, and Christopher Shene. Mary, his daughter, had married Chris-
topher Shene, Rector of Cockley Cley.
The General's will, dated 20 February, 1659, and proved 25 October, 1660, is
referred to by the Rev. Thomas Quarles in the ' History of Eoulsham.' J
Upon this I shall be much obliged for answers to the following queries : —
Who was Dame Katherine (Phillips), his second wife ?
Which of the daughters named in the Bible entries was Mrs. Bragge, who had
been the widow of Colonel Rolfe ; and who were these two husbands ?
Which other of the daughters besides Mrs. Meredith was married, and to
whom ?
On the monument in Acton Church to the memory of Mary, the first wife,
Skippon quarters the following coats, — 2. Azure a chevron between three crosses
pattee or ; 3. Barry of eight argent and vert, a griffin segreant or : and impales —
Ermine three lions passant in pale gules. A knowledge of these may lead to the
discovery of his maternal descent.
Luke Skippon, the General's brother had been presented to the Rectory of
Hingham, in 1638, by Sir Thomas Wodehouse, the patron, on the erroneous sup-
position of the death of the incumbent, who reappeared ; and in 1642 he was pre-
sented, by the same patron, to the Rectory of Litcham, which he appears to have
held until 1662, during some part of which incumbency he resided in the adjoining
parish of Mileham ; and there six children, by Elizabeth, his wife, — two sons, both
of whom died in infancy, and four daughters, — were baptized, the first on 7
January, 1642/3, and the last 2 November, 1650. He had the degree of D.D. con-
ferred upon him in 1660, by Royal licence. In 1662 he was Vicar of West Braden-
ham as well as of South Lynn. His will, wherein he is styled Rector of Wissingsett,§
is dated 3 August, 1674, and was proved in the Archdeaconry Court of Norwich

12 July, 1676, by Elizabeth, bis widow and relict. Erances, his eldest daughter,
was then wife of John Franklin, Rector of Tittleshall ; Susan, wife of " Mr. Cle-
ment Higham, Rector of Scalthorp ;" Jane, wife of Roger Hainesworth, of West
Lynn ; and his other daughters, Mary and Anne, were also then living, of whom both
died unmarried. Dr. Skippon, in his will, also names " his noble kinsman, Sir John
Bladwell, of Rougham," and his nephew, Mr. Philip Skippon, of Wrentham. The
three married daughters all left issue. Upon the monument of a single daughter
in Swaffham Church, he is described as " eminent for his piety, learning, and
loyalty." In the last named virtue a striking contrast with his brother.
I have many notes of persons of this family of earlier date, derived from wills,
court rolls, and parish registers. The prevalent baptismal names were Luke and
Bartholomew. Bartholomew Skippon was living at East Lexham in 1541, as in the
same year was Thomas Skippon at Weasenham ; the latter had a brother Luke,
and they continued in those parishes for several generations, but I have been un-
able at present to trace the ascending link connecting William and Philip, the first
before mentioned, with any of them. I also find the name in several other parishes
in Norfolk. A Luke Skippon was residing as recently as 1808 at Crimplesham,
where several of his children were baptized.
Can any of your readers inform me whether William Skippon, who died in
January, 1633/4, resided at Tavistock in any public capacity? The family seems
to have had some early connection with the south of England, as another William
Skippon, a yeoman, who died at East Lexham in 1578, gave legacies to the towns
of Chard and Cullington.

In Memory of Mary Dymoke, widow
of Edward Dymoke of Wadingworth Esq 1 '.
She was first married to J ohn Booth of
Market- liaisin Esq 1 ' who
lieth interr'd near this Place, and was
one of the Daughters & coheiresses of
John Loddington of Fonaby Esq 1 ' in
Lincolnshire, who died the 22 nd
of June 1740
Aged 90 Years.
John Booth, Esq., of Market Easen, by will, dated 15 March, 1685, and proved
26 June, 1686, devises his lands in Killingholme and East Halton, and the Eectory
there, to his executor, for bringing up his younger children until his eldest son
shall come to twenty-one years of age. He gives legacies to his second son,
Thomas, his third son, William, and to his daughters Ann and Mary ; and makes
Mary, his wife, executrix.
Probably his eldest son's name was John, as by deeds of 17 and 18 of Decem-
ber, 1710, John Booth, of Market Easen, Esq., eldest son and heir of John Booth,
late of Market Easen aforesaid, and heretofore of Harpswell, Esq., deceased, con-
veys to Henry Andrews, of Osgodby, Esq., and his heirs, a manor and lands in
Killingholme.
The daughter of the said Henry Andrews married a John Booth, Esq., who
died in the lifetime of his said father-in-law, leaving three sons, Henry Booth,
John Booth, and Thomas Booth ; and administration of the goods of the said John
Booth, deceased, was granted on the 5th of August, 1719, to the said Henry An-
drews, as grandfather, guardian, tutor, and curator lawfully elected and admitted
for his said grandchildren. This appears from the will of the said Henry Andrews,
dated December, 1727, and proved at Lincoln 9 July, 1731.
Henry Andrews in his said will devises his rectory and tithes and lands in East
Halton to his said grandson Henry Booth and his heirs, and also devises lands in
Killingholme to his grandsons John Booth and Thomas Booth respectively.
The last mentioned Henry Booth was of Thorpe Hall, co. Lincoln, and sold
the Halton estate to the first Lord Yarborough, and had an illegitimate son, John
Booth, a merchant of Hull, who was living there in 1802.
John Booth, brother of Henry Booth, lived and died at Hull, a merchant.
Thomas Booth, the younger brother of Henry Booth, died Vicar of Market
Easen in 1764, as is already mentioned. He and Anna Maria, his wife, were first
cousins.
Their son John Booth was of Spilsby, co. Lincoln, and married to his second
wife at Boston, co. Lincoln, 16 February, 1779, Elizabeth "Worley, of Boston. He
was buried at Boston, 1st January, 1783, aged 40, and left a surviving sou, Henry
Booth, baptized at Boston 24 May, 1781, who in 1804 was a Lieutenant in the
2nd West Yorkshire Militia.

Lawrence and Washington (p. 46).— "E. G-. L." will find in the ' Gentle-
man's Magazine ' (1815-16 and 1829) a series of papers on various families named
" Lawrence," by my kinsman, the late James Lawrence, author of ' The Nobility of
the British Grentry.'
In these exhaustive — or nearly so — papers (albeit full of errors) occurs a match
between a Lawrence of Ashton Hall and a Washington of Washington, both in co.
Lancaster.
The late Greo. Lawrence, of Cowerfield, Wilts, was not of a Wiltshire family, but,
like the author in question, was descended from John Lawrence,* of Jamaica, son
of Henry Lawrence, President of the Council of State under the Protectorate.
The whole of these latter genealogical matters will be found in the Lawrence
wills, recorded in the Lyon Office, Edinburgh, etc. J. H. L.-A.
Lawrence and Washington (p. 46). — At the Malmesbury Meeting of the
Wiltshire Archaeological Society in August, 1862, the following appears in the List
of Articles exhibited at the Temporary Museum : —
" By the Eev. W. Chambers, Grarsdon (since deceased), — Slab, bearing an in-
scription to Sir Lawrence Washington, Knt., Chief Eegister of the Chancery, who
died in 1643, aged 64, from Grarsdon Church. Sir Lawrence was the purchaser of
the manor of Grarsdon from the Moody family. Also three shields with the arms of
Washington." See Aubrey's ' Wilts Collections,' edited by the Eev. J. E. Jackson,
p. 242.
It is presumed the present Rector of Grarsdon can furnish all the information
required by your correspondent. The Eev. T. A. Methuen (Eector at the publica-
tion of the last ' Clergy List ') is also deceased. E. Wilton.
* Also ancestor of Lords Abingcr and Campbell, Sir A. J. Lawrence, K.C.B., etc. The author
of the papers referred to ia a good general guide, but not a faithful genealogist, for on an examina-
tion of the Lawrence wills it will be seen that he sometimes entirely suppressed senior lines to make
room for junior.

NOTES TO HALES PEDIGREE.
1 The Rev. A. N. Sanderson was the son of Anthony and Elizabeth Sanderson, and was baptized
at Hammersmith, 12 September, 1730. He had issue by his wife, Mary, five sons and two
daughters. Only one of the sons left male issue, namely, Edward (see 5 ), who was baptized at
Newton Longueville in 1773. Mary, the widow of the Rev. A. N. Sanderson, died at Rose Place,
Olaines, co. Worcester, on the 6th January, 1831, aged 84.
2 Died unmarried, at Lisbon, before 1812.
3 Died unmarried, at Cheltenham, 4 March, 1861 ; buried at St. Peter's Church there.
4 Captain (afterwards Lieut.- Colonel) Wilkie and his wife both died at Bath Easton, near Bath,
and were buried there. Their only son, Captain Edward Charles Hales Wilkie, late of the 1st
Dragoon Guards, married Miss Elizabeth Wood, of Chiselhurst, Kent, and has issue, Major Hales
Wilkie, 29th Regiment, the Rev. Christopher Wilkie, Kenyon Wood Wilkie, barrister-at-law, Cap-
tain Edward Hales Wilkie, Ramsgate Volunteers, and two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth.
5 Harriott married (at St. George's, Hanover Square) her cousin Edward Sanderson (see l ), of
Rose Place, Claines, co. Worcester, Captain in the 3rd Regiment, and a magistrate for Worcester-
shire. He died 4 Mai'ch, 1849, and she died 13 June, 1862, both buried at Claines. They had
issue, —
1. Harriet Hales, living at Cheltenham, unmarried.
2. Catherine Elizabeth Sophia, died young.
3. Edward Scott, living at Claines, co. Worcestei*, unmarried.
4. John, Captain, R.N., married, in 1857, at Leamington, Alice, daughter of George Wood-
roffe Franklin, Esq., M.P. ; died 27 June, 1859, in command of H. M.S. Archer, off
the West Coast of Africa ; buried at Loango. No issue.
5. Henry, died unmanned at Cheltenham, 31 December, 1863 ; buried at St. Peter's Church
there.
6. Frederick, living in London, unmarried.
7. William, Captain, Somersetshire Volunteers, married (in 1846 at Goodrich) Mary Ann,
daughter of John Preece, Esq., and has issue, Emma Hales, William (merchant in
Trinidad), and Edward John (Royal Navy).
8. Arthur, died unmarried, at Melbourne, Australia, June, 1856.
9. George Septimus, merchant, Brixton, Surrey, married Frances Ward, daughter of John
Monkton, Esq., son of Rear- Admiral Monkton, and has issue five children, Francis
George, Alfred John, Mary Edith, Harry Slade, and Ada.
10. Octavus Hales, living at Claines, co. Worcester.
11. Mary Ann Hales, living at same place, unmarried.
12. Fanny, living at same place, unmarried.
13. Adelaide, died young.
6 Sophia, married Captain (afterwards Colonel) Charles Lewis Phipps (Queen's Bays), of Dilton
Court, Westbury, Wilts. They died without issue, and are both buried at Dilton Church.
The Sanderson family claim descent from the Saundersons of Yorkshire and Notts, of whom a
pedigree is given in Thoroton's 'Antiquities of Notts,' p. 474; of this family was Robert Saunder-
son, Bishop of Lincoln, and the Saundersons, Viscounts Castleton. James, the sixth Viscount, was
created a Peer of England in 1714 as Baron Saunderson of Saxby, and was advanced to the Earl-
dom of Castleton in 1720. Upon his death, s. p., in 1723, all the honours became extinct, and he
bequeathed his large estate to his cousin (on his mother's side), the Eavl (third) of Scarborough,
who thereupon, by Act of Parliament, assumed the additional surname of Saunderson.
The arms borne by the late Captain Sanderson and by his father and grandfather are, — Paly of
six argent and azure a bend sable. Crests : — 1, A hound passant argent, armed and langued gules ;
and 2, A palm-tree, from the branches on either side pendant a hawk's lure.
Names of Places (p. 12). — The term " Langdon Hill " is a pleonasm, Lang-
don being = " long hill " {long-dun). Chad well was named from St. Chad (Cedda).
Tilbury probably means the fortification on the river Till : conf. Tilburg, a town of
the Netherlands ; Tilbrook, Beds ; Till, a river of Northumberland, i. q. the Sill,
i.e. Ill with a sibilant prefixed, from the Welsh Hi, a stream. Grays and Thur-
rock were doubtless named from the respective owners : the former name is
probably derived from Grray, in France, dep. Saone ; the latter would seem
to be an augmentative of a surname, Torr or Thor. The name Aveley is from
a proper name, Alvid, Alfwith, and Saxon leag, a pasture, meadow. The first
part of the name Horndon is probably a corruption ; it may have the following
meanings, thorn, tower, water, heron. Ockendon signifies the oak (ac-dun) ;
Rainham, the dwelling on the Rain, perhaps the ancient name of a neighbouring-
stream, from ran, ren, rin, run, found in fluvial names, and = water, stream ; conf.
the Rhine, the Reno, flume principale del Bolognese. Mucking may mean a
72
MISCELLANEA GENEALOGICA ET HERALDIC A.
" great meadow." Stanford-le-Hope was named from a stone or paved ford, and
the old Norsk hop, op, a recess (the bay formed by the winding of the Thames is
called by seamen the " Hope "). Wcnnington might translate the " marsh town "
(conf. the Cornish win-nick, a marsh), or it may be from gwyn (Welsh, id.),
" white." There is a Wcnnington, cos. Lancaster and Hunts ; and Winnington, cos.
Chester and Stafford. Bulphan, or Bulfan, might possibly translate " bull's-fen ;"
Stifford, "steep-ford"; but I am disposed to consider it another form of Stafford,
which I take to be from stead-ford, the ford of the place (A. S. steda-ford). The first
syllable in Fobbing (Domesday Pltolinge) is doubtful. In the time of Edward the
Confessor, Corringham is said to have belonged to one Sigar, and was, perhaps,
originally Sigarham, afterwards Scigarnham, and finally corrupted to Curringham
and Corringham ; Corringham is, however, the name of a place in Lincolnshire.
The last syllable of Orsett may be from sett, a place, and the first syllable from or
= water; or it would corrupt from Horse heath. Horseheath, in Cambridgeshire,
is commonly pronounced Horsett. R. S. Charnock.

Aecheold. — The arms of Richard Archbold, of the Middle Temple, Esq. (third
son of Edward Archbold, of the College of Worcester), who entered his pedigree
in the Visitation of London in 1634, having then two sons living, were, — Argent
a lion rampant between six fleurs-de-lis sable.
Argent semee of fleurs-de-lis, a lion rampant sable, is the coat of William
Archbold, D.D., sometime Vicar of St. Peter's, Cornhill, London, whose son, Henry
Archbold, also entered his pedigree in the above-named Visitation. Jane, widow
of Dr. Archbold, and daughter of William Billingsley, of Stepney, co. Middlesex,
gent., died January, 1635, her funeral being recorded in the College of Arms.

Arms. — On a cup in my possession are the following arms, to whom did it belong ?
Per pale or and azure, on a fess between three greyhounds courant counterchanged
a fleur-de-lis between two lozenges gules, impaling azure a chevron or between
three hedgehogs of the last. Crest : On a wreath or and azure an arm embowed
or holding a stork, wings expanded proper. Motto : " Virtus semper viridis."

Leigii or Rttshall. — A pedigree of this family, with several additions in
MS., will be found in the copy of Shaw's ' History of Staffordshire ' in the British
Museum, press-mark 1854 b. This family, which was the elder line of the Lords
Leigh of Stoneleigh, is now, I believe, quite extinct. Lewis Leigh had issue,
according to Shaw, Edward and Richard. This Richard married Elizabeth, daugh-
ter of John Clark, of Newark, co. Notts, and had issue Richard (miscalled William
by Shaw), who married Ann, daughter of Josiah Jarvis, of Atherstone, co. War-
wick, by whom he had the Rev. William Leigh, Rector of Pulham, co. Norfolk,
and Prances, wife of William Gray, by whom she had an only son, William, who
died s. p. The Rev. Wm. Leigh married Mary, daughter of . . . Proud, and died

CRANMER OF WARWICKSHIRE *
It has long been a problem to those who have studied the genealogy of Arch-
bishop Cranmer, whether the Cramners of Warwickshire can be descended from
the Cranmers of Aslacton, in Nottinghamshire. The name constantly occurs in
the registers of Tanworth, and of the adjoining parishes in the rural deanery of Al-
cester from 1626, but there is no clue to their earlier history, although the registers
of Tanworth are said to begin in 1558. It is, at least, a curious coincidence that
Samuel Cranmer, Alderman of London, who died in 1640, seised of the manor of
Upper Itchington in Warwickshire, and whom we know to have been descended
from the Archbishop's eldest brother, is said on his monument at Astwood Bury
(Bucks) to have been born at Alcester about 1575. The Alderman was an only
son, and his father John Cranmer was born and bred at Aslacton, so that it is
difficult to connect him with the Warwickshire family : still the fact remains, that
his father was living at Alcester in 1575, and that there were families of the same
name in the same district fifty years later. The following extracts supply materials
for a pedigree of the Cranmers of Warwickshire, and will, I hope, induce some
local antiquary with greater knowledge and opportunities to pursue this interesting
inquiry.

* It is remarkable that notwithstanding the grant by Hervy, 10 July, 1557 (see preceding
page), to this John Skynner and his posterity of " the owlde and auncient armes of his auncestors,"
his son and descendants should have made use of quite a different bearing, viz. argent a lion rampant
sable within an orle of eight crescents gules : crest, — -on a ducal coronet argent a falcon of the last,
beaked and legged gules. These arms occur as being allowed (though no grant of them appears) at
the Visitations, and they are also upon some of the family monuments at Goxhill and Thornton-
Curtis. In 1609 we meet with a letter from Sir V. Skynner to the Earl of Salisbury sealed with
the arms of Skynner of Norwich, viz. three cross-bows.
t Information as to what became of this William Skinner is required (see letter from Mr. Jack-
Bon, of Doncastei'j to the ' Lincoln Mercury,' 2nd September} 1870). Nothing has been made out

The Cbosfield or Ckossfield Family. — I have in my possession a Bible,
the entries in which are as follows : —
New York June 23, 1758, 1, Stephen Crosfield (son of William and Elizabeth Cros-
field of the town of Dorton* in Lancashire in Great Britain) entered into the
holy state of matrimony with Mary, youngest daughter of Johannes and Mar-
garetta Kerf byl of this same city of New York.
July 10, 1765, was born our beloved son Stephen and baptized by Rev. John
Oglevie in St. George's Chapel. "Witnesses Mr. Andrew Gautier and Eliza-
beth his wife.
July 16, 1769 My beloved wife Mary departed this life in the 44 th year of her age,
and was the next day interred in the family vault of Andrew Gautier Esq., in
Trinity Churchyard.
May 21, 1777 I, Stephen Crosfield married my second wife, Hannah Disbury of
New York, daughter of Griffin and Hannah Disbury of New Jersey.
February 20, 1778, was born our beloved son William, and baptized by the Eev.
Mr. Bagley. Witness Henry Newton and Aun Crosfield.
August 15, 1780, Our beloved son William departed this life, and was next day
interred in the family vault of Andrew Gautier Esq. in Trinity Church yard.
August 23, 1782 was born our beloved daughter Elizabeth, and baptized by the
Eev. Mr. Benjamin Moore. Witness, Henry Newton, Ann Crosfield and
Elizabeth Dunbar.
May 4, 1790 My beloved son Stephen departed this life aged 24 years and 10
months, and interred in the family vault of Andrew Gautier Esq., in Trinity
Church yard.
This Stephen Crosfield came to New York prior to 1745, accompanied by three
sisters, — Elizabeth, who married Andrew Gautier ; Mary, who married William
Newton ; and Ann, who died a spinster.
Can any one give me information of this family in England ?
John S. Gautier.
64, Madison Avenue, Neio Yorlc City.
respecting him beyond the mention of him in the wills, 1648 and 1657. It has been supposed that
he may be possibly identical with Wm. Skinner, merchant, and Alderman of Hull, who died 19
September, 1680, in the fifty-third year of his age, according to the inscription on his gravestone in
the church of Holy Trinity, Hull. Proof of identity is so far, however, not forthcoming. Alder-
man Skinner used the same arms that were granted to John Skynncr, 1557. Any facts tending to
establish a connection between him and the Thornton family will oblige, and may be communicated
direct to Mr. Jackson. The date of the age of Alderman Skinner on his monument may not bo
quite correctly given. Monumental inscriptions are not always to be entirely depended upon as
evidence. An instance occurs in this family. William Skinner, of Thornton College, son of Sir
Vincent, is stated on his monument to have died "the 7th day of August, 1626," whereas the entry
of his burial in the register is on the 8th of August, 1627 ; the latter year being supported by his
will, which, dated 3rd August, 1627, was proved at Lincoln, 1st February, 1627-8.
% De la Pryme, the Yorkshire antiquary, in his MS. History of Hull, says, — " 1639. In this year
Mr. Andrew Marvel, Lecturer of this town, a very learned and ingenious and florid man, going over
the Humber in a small boat or skiff, with Madam Skinner, of Thornton College, and a young couple
who were going to be married, a storm rose on a sudden, which, in a little time, overset the boat, so
that they were all drowned, and never found or heard of afterwards." The term Madam and Mis-
tress was the usual description of young unmarried ladies of position formerly.
* There is no township of Dorton in Lancashire, but there are three townships called Dalton,—
one in Furness, one near Wigan, and a third near Kendal. If the Crosfields were Quakers, which,
from the printed extracts, does not seem to have been the case, Dalton-in-Furness, which is near
George Fox's adopted home, was probably the place from which they sprang.

* The Barnes pedigree, published in No. 7 of c Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica,' Monthly
Series, will sufficiently explain most of the following entries.
t Since the publication of the Barnes pedigree I have discovered that Abigail Barnes, daughter
and coheiress of Thomas Barnes of Aldborough Hatch, was married four times, — first to John
Lockey of Holmes Hill, Co. Herts,— secondly to Josiah Berners, — thirdly to Eoger Hill of Pounds-
ford, Co. Somerset, — fourthly to Colonel George Thompson of Clerkenwell — E. J. S.

Salvia. — John, second son of Sir Eoger Salvayn, of Herswell, died s. p. 19
Hen. VI., leaving his property to the son of his eldest sister, Alice, who married
Henry "Wilton. She had two sons by Henry Wilton, viz. —
1. John Wilton, alias Salvin, who inherited his uncle John Salvin's fortune,
but died, aged 16, 21 Hen. VI.
2. Henry Wilton, alias Salvin.
Can any correspondent acquainted with Durham genealogy inform me what
were the arms borne by Henry Wilton, who married Alice Salvin, or by the sons
of the said Alice, viz. John Wilton, alias Salvin, or her second son, Henry Wilton,
alias Salvin ?
A Somersetshire family named Wilton appears, from an Alphabet of arms in
the Heralds' College, to have borne, Sable three water-bougets argent ; which coat
is also found (but given to another name) in a splendid shield of Percy quarterings
in Edmonson's ' Baronagium.'
It is a curious coincidence that the Salvayns descended from a coheir of Robert,
Lord E-os of Warke, with which name three water-bougets are, with variations of
tincture, constantly associated.
In indexes to pedigrees, and, perhaps, in Visitations duly enrolled, the name
Wylton and Witton are considered synonymous ; perhaps arising from some self-
evident, but slight alteration in crossing both the 1 and the t in entering the name.
Wj/e-town and TTOy-town have each an aqueous derivation, and this is re-
cognized in the water-bougets which both Wiltons and Wittons assume as partly
or entirely their armorial bearings.
There is a family of Johnson using the same arms as the Wiltons, viz. Or a
water-bouget sable, on a chief of the second three bezants. E. W.
Palmee. — . . . Palmer, of Lincoln's Inn, King's Mes-
senger, married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Bate,f of
Ash by de la Zouch, gent. This Mr. Palmer had an estate in
Ireland. His seal, a woodcut of which is here given, is now
in my possession. Arms: Argent a bend sable charged with
three trefoils slipped of the field between two pellets.
Crest : An arm erect holding a trefoil. I should be glad to
have some account of this Mr. Palmer and his antecedents.

* Numbers of these names are not in the pedigree, and the majority, no doubt, belong to col-
laterals.
t The pedigree says, " Borne 1578." No other entry appears. Possibly this Thomas was the
eldest son, and dying an infant, the name was perpetuated in the Thomas of 1578. By a marriage-
settlement of 1708, and by the wardens' books, this Thomas and his father, Eandle, were the first
to settle in Kingsley (about the end of Elizabeth's reign), where they occasionally dwelt, as did John
and Bandolph, the sons of Thomas, at the Banke House, the Brooke House, and Kingsley Grange,
or Hurst.
% Along with "Ric. Stanley fil. Thome." Edward Stanley and Jane, his second wife, of Alvan-
ley, were living about this time. He was of the house of Hooton.
§ He was co- warden of Frodsham parish, and his father, Thomas, made a curious settlement,
providing that if he refused the office his moiety of certain lands should go to bis second brother,
Randolph. In 1672, his son John was also Churchwarden, along with Willm. Hyde, of Cat ten all,
in Kingsley, Esq., a junior branch of the Hydes of Hyde, a quo the younger house of Clarendon,
temp. Jac. II.
|| The registers being very rough from 1642 to 1670, this Randolph is described in a dupli-
cate entry as of Kingsley.

term of 200 years for the purpose of raising portions for daughters and younger sons. This, toge-
ther with other Settlements, is by a counterpart Indenture, dated the 5th day of May, 1770, cove-
nanted to be produced to certain purchasers.

+ She must have reached an extreme old age, as she was married in the reign of Henry VII.,
and this may account for the somewhat special form of entry, although her age is not mentioned.
% These appear to be two Joans, probably mother and daughter ; but query whether it really
means Joan, the widow of John Helsby, gentleman. Among several other entries of death in a
Breeches Bible of 1610 are the three, Blanche, Margery, and Joan, in August and September, 1590,
and they are there described as the daughters of Randle Helsby, of Helsby. — And see pedigree,

I, the Reverend William Charles Cotton, Clerk, Master of Arts, Vicar
of the Parish and Parish Church of Frodsham, do hereby certify that I have
examined the Extracts above mentioned relating to the family of Helsby, of
Helsby, Kingsley, Alvanley, Frodsham, and Overton, and compared the
same with the original Entries in the Register Books of the said Parish,
and do hereby declare the same to be true and correct copies thereof.
Dated at Overton, this tenth day of December, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy.
Wm. Chas. Cotton, M.A.,
Vicar of Frodsham.
* A double entry, on separate pages.
f This description, " Motehouse," must refer, not to James, but to Eandle, who occasionally-
resided there, but which residence for nearly the whole of the seventeenth century was let as a farm.
In the registers and parish accounts it is occasionally called " Helsby Hall" and " Helsby House,"
though another Helsby House existed in Alvanley, also an occasional residence of the family.
In 1637, John Blimston occupied a pew on the north side of the parish church for " Helsbey
House" (meaning the Moathouse or Hall), as tenant, after the wooden and oldest portion of the
mansion had been destroyed by fire, temp. Jac. I. The remains of the building, being of stone,
were then let as a farm, and in "1732. April 6. Mary Burgess of Helsbey Hall" (the wife or
daughter of the then tenant) is mentioned in the registers as being buried ; but some time afterwards
a second fire reduced the place to ashes.
X In a.d. 1639, " Mr. Randle Helsby and John, Lord Viscount Savage," are mentioned in an
old " Seat Role " as holding certain pews in the north-east corner of Frodsham Church, or the Helsby
Chapel, and several other pews in other parts of the church were then held by other members of the
family ; but before 1749 all the north-east pews were in the hands of purchasers, and only one or
two remained. Notwithstanding all this and Frodsham evidently being the principal burial place
(Alvanley Chapel was another), not a scrap of memorial- stone is to be found, though the aged
sexton says that the remains of a rotten escutcheon and two banners (which had from time to time
dropped in pieces on the site of the high-altar) on being taken down, crumbled to dust, with their
staves, in the hands of his father upwards of half a century ago, when the church was undergoing
its accustomed whitewashing. One remote branch of the family attributes this absence of tombstones
to a fancied fraud, and tells an amusing story of his father some sixty years since taking down his
attorney (or, perhaps the attorney taking down his father) to Frodsham and Runcorn, where they
discovered the gravestones turned upside down, appropriated to other uses, with their inscriptions
defaced, registers mutilated, and other signs of malpractices, all for the purpose of keeping them out
of certain estates, which, it is needless to say, belonged to another line, and which generation after
generation had wasted away, till the sale of the last acre a century ago and the removal of the
family to another part of the shire.

Carew. — Dame Alice Stamford, widow of Sir William Stamford, Knt., Justice
of the Common Pleas, who died in August, 1558, married, secondly, Roger Carew,
Esq., of Monken Hadley (circa 1560), and by him had an only son, Henry Carew,
Esq., also of Monken Hadley, who died unmarried December 12, 1G20, and was
there buried. A Roger Carew was one of the burgesses of St. Alban's from 5th
to 13th Elizabeth. Wanted to ascertain to what branch of the Carew family the
said Roger and Henry belonged. F. C. Cass.
Eotjke or Fowke. — There was formerly in Staffordshire a family of the name
of Fouke or Fowke. One of them, Roger Fowke, of Brewood, bought Wyrley
Grove from his relative, John Leveson, and married Joan Fowke. Their son
Thomas married Mary, daughter of Henry Ferrers, of Baddesley Clinton, co. War-
wick, and had issue Ferrers Fowke, of Little Wyrley, who married Frances,
daughter of Morton Briggs, of Haughton Hall, co. Salop. Can any one supply
the issue of this match and, if any, what became of them ? J. Fetherston.
G-ibson oe Welburn. — At Welburn Hall, in North Yorkshire, a little more
than a mile from Kirbymoorside, resided James Gibson, Esq., Town Clerk of Lon-
don, whose daughter Elizabeth (query, Judith) married Thomas Strangways
Robinson, of Pickering, Esq., — she died 1751. The last of the Robinsons who
occupied the old hall was the Rev. John Robinson, lineally descended from Sir
James Strangways, who, in the time of Henry VI., married Margaret, the elder of
the two coheiresses of the last Lord D'Arcy Meinill. The younger married Sir
John Conyers, ancestor of the present Duke of Leeds. The name of Strangways
was exchanged for that of Robinson in accordance with the will of Luke Robinson
Esq., of Riseborough, and M.P. for Scarborough.
The woodcut represents a fine gold mounting to a lady's Malacca walking- cane,
with crest on the top. I should be glad to know to whom this cane belonged. I
got it from a cottage in the village of Welburn, and it was said to have been the
walking-cane of " Johanna Gibson:' Edward Morton.
Malton, 21 November, 1870.
Captain Newsom, R.N. — Can any correspondent throw light on the parentage
of this gentleman ? In Schomberg's ' Naval Records,' vol. i. p. 340, he is thus
mentioned : — " Rear-Admiral Stevens blockading Pondicherry, sent the boats of
his division, headed by Captain Newsome, who cut out two frigates with great gal-
lantry." In ' Gentleman's Magazine for 1759, amongst the vessels which sailed
from Kin sale is named the ' Roman Emperor,' of twenty guns, commanded by
Captain Newsom. In his will, dated October, 1787, he is styled Captain Wm.
Newson, R.N., and mentions his four daughters, — Sarah, wife of Ambrose Cor-
deroy ; Mary Ann, wife of Geo. Paterson ; Caroline, wife of . . . Davis ; and
Elizab'et, subsequently wife of John Strongi'th'arm, engraver, of Pall Mall (see
Gent.'s Mag.). There can be little doubt of the present firm of Strongi'th'arm of
Pall Mall being either descendants or collaterals of this last marriage.

and 27 th of March 1837 at which latter period his Cousin John Casamajor appears to have been dead.
The Codicil provides that as by the Will a great many are left Executors who are resident in
London, a certain number resident at Madras shall be further appointed among whom is one John
Casamajor Esq. The Codicil is dated at Madras. An affidavit as to his handwriting describes him
as James Henry Casamajor Esq. of Manchester Square.
Justinian Casamajor, Esq., of Hertfordshire, 1816.
In the Prerogative Office, London.
Justinian Casamajor Esq. of Potterells in the Parish of North Minims eo. Hertford. Will dated
2 nd September 1816. Two Codicils Proved 29 th August 1820. Mentions his sons Justinian, George-
John, Louis-Duncan, William- Charles and his daughters Emma, Henrietta, Caroline, Lydia and his
son in law John Vernon Esq. Desires to be buried as near to the remains of his Wife as possible, but
the Codicil specifies that if he die at Pitton in Devonshire he is to be buried there. Alludes to Property
in Bristol and some share in a Tontine property. His grandson Justinian, son of his son-in-law J ohn
Vernon Esq. to assume the Arms and name of Casamajor. Leaves Justinian, John, and William
his sons Executors, but by Codicil revokes the appointment of Justinian, Also a M r Newman his
friend, who is the Executor that proves, power being reserved to the others. Mentions also consi-
derable property in the Island of Antigua. John by the concluding portion would seem at that
time to have been abroad in the East Indies. The Will is of great length, and particularizes the
disposition of some of his Jewels and Rarities with some articles of Vertu, of which he appears to
have had a costly stock. The celebrated Macklin Bible is to continue as a heirloom in his family,
also some Globes left him by General Hervey, and Valuables from Lady Carhampton. Potterells
would seem to have been devised by his friend Charles (or C. L. S.) Delach, to him and another as
tenants in common. Various legacies are also bequeathed especially to his servants. The second
Codicil affords the reason for excluding Justinians name as one of the Executors, viz. not from any
diminution of love, but that he, Justinian, is already much engaged. The property would seem to
be generally in the Counties of Hertfordshire, Middlesex, and Lincoln.
Louis-Duncan Casamajor, Esq., 1820.
In the Prerogative Office, London.

the Court of S l Petersburg. Granted the 1 st December 1820, to James Newman Esq., one of the
Executors of the late Justinian Casamajor Esq., the natural and lawful Father of the deceased, he
dying before him. Sworn under £3000.

Pallett, his servant, who has lived with him for these 1 years past, and whose conduct he eulogizes
at some length. Knows of no one who has more claim on him than she. Had but little to bequeath
to her & wishes it were more. Leaves Jewelry Pictures Furniture &c. to her. To his Executors

a piece. Entreats Sarah Pallett to give Emma £20 if she can afford it.

several interlineations & erasures and is described as found in an Escritoire after Testators death.

Haydon, Warham, Parsons, and Wilcoxon. — Let me inquire through your
columns if any of your readers can give information respecting William, John, or
James Hay den, or Haydon, believed to be brothers, who emigrated from England
(the first supposed from Devonshire) to Massachusetts, America, in 1630 and
1635 ; or of Rev. J ohn Warham, who was " an eminent minister of the Church of
England in Exeter, Eng.,"— emigrated with William Hay den, 1630 ; or of Joseph
Parsons, supposed of Great Milton, Oxfordshire, who emigrated about same time ;
or of " W m Wilcoxson, Lynen Wever," who, with wife and one child, emigrated,
1635, from St. Alban's Parish, Hertfordshire, with certificates from parish minister
and from magistrates, " according to the Lord's order." Any information of these
persons and their antecedents will be thankfully received.
Horace Edwin Hayden.
Pt. Pleasant, West Virginia, U. S.
Wright. — Peter, Nicholas, and Anthony Wright, brothers, emigrated from
England to New England about 1636-7, and settled first at Sangus (now Lynn),
Massachusetts, afterwards at Sandwich, and subsequently removed to Oyster Bay,
Long Island, N. Y. Were they of the family of Edmund or of Nicholas Wright,
of East Lexham, Norfolk, temp. Henry VIII., who married sisters, daughters of
Edmund Beaupre, of Beaupre Hall, Norfolk ? Nicholas is said to have had five
children : what were their names, and what became of them ? Edmund married
a second wife, Jane, daughter and coheir of Thomas Russell, brother to John, Earl
of Bedford, by whom he had six children, William, Edmund, George, Thomas,
Edward, and Bridget.
There was a William Wright, one of the Incorporators of Plymouth, in New
England, in 1633, who removed to Sandwich, in Massachusetts, where he died in
April, 1648. Was he the son of Edmund above named ? I. J. L.
Heron Family of Godmanchester (p. 43). — In 1588, Edward Heron, of
Stamford, was Recorder of the borough. He was afterwards knighted. Purchased
Cressy Hall of the Noels ; and, in 1607, appointed one of the Barons of the Ex-
chequer. Prom the registers of St. George's, Stamford, I append the following
extracts : —
1583. Anne Heron y e wife of M Heron, bur. y e xiij day of May.
1584. John Heron, the sonne of M r Heron bapt. the xj day of Aprill being Wed-
nesday.
1600. The tenth day of October, Annabella Heron, the daughter of M r Edward
Heron, gent, was bapt.
1618. Robart Heron & Isabel Walker were mar. the 14 of Nov.
Sir Edw. Heron was one of the Commissioners appointed, 21 Jac. I., to inquire
into the charities of the co. of Lincoln ; and in 1582, Edw. Heron (the same per-
son), by deed dated 4th April, enfeoffed certain trustees therein mentioned and
their heirs of a toft and barn, with the appurtenances, in the town and fields of
Tallington (in this county), in trust, to apply the rents and profits towards the
relief of the poor people of Tallington, and towards easing them from any assess-
ment to be made for repairing the nave or body of the church, and for repairs of
bridges, and towards payment of subsidies and ease of the poor people aforesaid,
upon any assessment, fifteenths, or other lawfull, necessary, and charitable pay-
ments, and rights, and for any other use, necessary and lawful cause whatsoever.

Ravenscroft (p. 79). — The arms of Ravenscroft are given in a pedigree of
the Chambre family in my possession. They are, Argent a chevron between three
ravens' heads erased sable. Martha the daughter of William* Ravenscroft, of
Ravenscroft, married Hugh Chambre. This accounts for the introduction of the
Ravenscroft arms in the Chambre pedigree. R. Chambre- Vaughan.

Woodruffe of Alvltstgtois", Co. Gloucester. — Seal and autograph of Eobert

ton from the said Eobert Woodruffe to " William Compton of Clannye within the
parish of Alvington Esquyre, Lord of the Manor of Alvington aforesayde," dated
18 April, 1603.
Hyde Family (p. 41). — Some years ago the original marriage- settlement of
Dodding Braddyll, of Conishead Priory, Esq., M.P., w r as in my hands, and I re-
member his wife's name was Mary, and that she was a daughter of Samuel Hyde,
of London, Esq., deceased, and, 1 believe, Mary, his wife, then a widow ; the date
was the 13 Anne, a.d. 1714. I had also the original pedigree, by Heard, Norroy,
and Brooke, Rouge Croix (date the close of last century, and which recited that the
first eight or nine descents were copied from an ancient parchment roll in the posses-
sion of Wilson Braddyll, of Conishead Priory, Esq.), which stated that Mary (Hyde)
Braddyll died in 1771, and was buried at Woodford, with her husband, who was
born in 1689 and died in 1748. The emblazoned arms were those usually borne
by the Hydes (azure a chevron between three mascles or), but whether they came
from Lancashire or were of the Clarendon stock, I regret, I cannot say ; but I may
observe that both before and after this marriage, the Braddyils held tenements in
or about Chancery Lane and other parts of London, some of which may have come
from the Hydes. A privately printed ' History of Samlesbury,' about to be issued
from the Chiswick Press, will give a little fuller information ; and a copy of the
pedigree of Braddyll, intended to be published in a future number of the ' Miscel-
nanea Genealogica,' (Quarterly Series,) will also show the marriage to which I
allude. ° T. Helsby.
Richard de Haldlngham, circa 1300-20 (p. 22).— Mr. Hayergal will find an
Aldingham in Lonsdale, in Lancashire, once possessed by the Harringtons of Hornby
Castle. It is not at all improbable that the shire which gave to the Diocese of
Hereford a ruler in a Lancashire man, Charles Boothe (the nephew of the brothers
William and Lawrence Boothe, Archbishops of York, 1464-1480), should also have
given to Hereford a prebendary a century and a half earlier. I think the first
known Harrington was — according to a very good Blackburne pedigree, extracted
from the Heralds' College (Norfk. X. and XXI.)— John de Harrington, of Ald-
ingham, Parliamentary Baron (per writ), 18 Edw. II. to his decease 21 Edw. III.
Perhaps this information may lead to the discovery of an Aldingham pedigree and
the identity of Richard de (H) aldingham. T. Helsby.

Grantham : Skinner. — In vol. xlvii. of the publications of the Surtees So-
ciety (Dean Granville's Letters, etc.), at page 119, is a letter of advice from the
Dean to Mr. Corbett Skinner upon his going to sea in April, 1683. In this com-
munication the writer exhorts young Skinner to do his duty " to S r Tho. Grrantho,"
and others of the ship. I incline to think this is a mistake for Grantham. I shall
be obliged by information as to this Sir Thomas Grantham, or Grrantho, if such
really is the name, — what ship he commanded, when and where he died, etc. Also
as to Corbett Skinner, — who he was, and what became of him.

Alice W agstaffe by Licence.
1689. Oct. 22, Alice Dau. to Peter "Wagstaffe of Manchester Baptized.
These Wagstaffes were descended from an old family long resident in the parish
of Grlossop, Derbyshire. John Owen.

Paryish Family. — In Cooke's ' London Visitation of 1568 ' (Harleian Society),
Henry Parvish, of London, merchant, is shown to have a son Thomas. Are any
notices of this son extant, and where, if so, are they to be met with ? One of the
name, and probably the person noted fin the pedigree of the Colstons, was Head
Master of Chester Grammar School from 1567 to 1578, and was, in other ways,
evidently a man of some mark. T. Hughes, F.S.A.
Chester.
Arms. — The following arms, surmounted by a cardinal's hat, are from a seal in ,
my possession : — On a saltire between four leaves (? holly) a heart pierced with
an arrow ; surrounded by this inscription, " not. apost. p. m. e. k. a." I am
anxious to know to whom this seal belonged. Philip Langman.
Latton, Daunce, and Sycheyyle Families. — I should be greatly obliged
if any information can be afforded me concerning the families of Latton, Daunce,
or Sychevyle. Several members of the two former are buried in the church of St.
Michael, Blewbury, Berks, and the brasses on their tombs still remain in good pre-
servation. From one of these it appears that Sir John Daunce was " Counsellor
& Surveyor Greneral " to King Henry VIII. The Lattons seem to have come
originally from Latton, in Wilts, thereafter to have resided in Bucks, and subse-
quently to have settled at Upton and Chilton, Berks. I have been able to hear
nothing of the Sychevyles, but their arms, viz. ermine three crossbows or, are
quartered with those of Latton, Estbury, and Percy, on one of the brasses before
mentioned. ,
I also enclose a copy of a shield of arms, apparently a chevron between three
geese or swans, from the porch of the old manor-house of East Coker, Somerset,
and I should be glad to know to what family it may be assigned.

Mudd. Edward Morton.

GENEALOGICAL MEMORANDA RELATING TO THE EOX AND
WELD FAMILIES.*
The above is a facsimile of the signature of Mary, dowager Countess of Cas-
silis (the widow of John, 7th Earl) appended to a deed of bargain and sale, now
in the possession of Dr. Fox, of Brislington, co. Somerset.
It is remarkable that this lady is wrongly described in all the Peerages. In
"Wood's edition of ' Douglas's Scotch Peerage,' published 1813, she is described as
" Miss Elizabeth (or Mary) Eoix," and there is a curious note showing that the
claim of peerage made by her and Lady Mordington was not allowed by the House
of Lords, on 29 April, 1745, against any prosecution for " suppressing the public
gaming-houses kept by the said Ladies." This deed, which is dated 2 May, 1711
(10 Anne), as between Mary Fox, widow relict of John Fox late of Lincolns Inn
fields co. Middlesex Esq., & dau. of Thomas Weld, late Citizen & Grocer of Lon-

Mr. Beynon has likewise given me (October 28, 1870) the subjoined corrobo-
ration of the marriage solemnized between Charles Price of Somerset House, Esq.,
and Miss Phillips of Witston, mentioned in my former note : —
" Miss Mary Phillips was I have no doubt married in the Church of this Parish
about the date you mention " (1780) "or a year before, but unfortunately the Old
Register of Marriages of this Parish is lost. We have no entry of Marriages in
our present Register prior to 1816, and to prove this fact I was summoned on a
trial brought by Price in the Guild Hall London, when the marriage of Mary Phil-
lips with Charles Priced was proved to satisfaction of the jury from family docu-
ments."

Floyek Family. — The subjoined pedigree of a branch of the Floyer family-
was found by me among the family papers at Whitfield, in this county (the seat of
the Rev. Archer Clive), and had evidently been prepared for the purpose of showing
the consanguinity of the later representatives to the founder of Wadham College,
Oxford. C. J. Robinson.

* Mr. Hunter had a suspicion that the second wife was the sister of the first. There is some
allusion to an intrigue between Mr. Jenkyns and Lady Elizabeth Pawlet in the letters of Rachael,
Lady Russell. The old Baronetages, under Goodrick, speak of Mr. Jenkyns's first wife, showing
that he had a second. The register at Dunnington calls the two children merely the children of
" Tobias Jenkyns, Esq.," not mentioning any wife.
_ t His seal shows a lion rampant regardant, with Monro on an escutcheon of pretence. Crest :
a lion passant. Supposed to have been the Wm. Jenkyns who went on the Carthagenian expedition,
1739, and to have been an officer in Colonel Robinson's Marines, raised in Yorkshire, afterwards in
the Horse Guards. Colonel Robinson was distantly related to W. J.'s family.
X Anthony Floyer married a coheir of Nicholas Martin, whose wife was a sister of Nicholas
Wadham.

Lattghto^ Family (Quarterly Series, "Vol. II. pp. 258-9). — The following
extract from a letter of the Rev. John-Haldenby Clark in reference to the family
of Laughton may not be uninteresting : —
" Though, as you observe, the name does not seem to have been of any great
importance in Lincolnshire, it occurs tolerably early. In 3 Eliz., Thos. Laughton
and Gilbert Greene were Churchwardens at Aslackby in that co. : about the same
date Peter Laughton was Curate of Ewerby (Peacock's ' Church Monuments,' pp.
31-2 and 80), and a William Laughton was ejected by the Act of Conformity from
the living of Westborough, co. Line. At Gainsborough in later times it seems to
have obtained some hold; for the mother of James Cawthorne (born 1719) of
Clare Coll. Cambridge and Master of Tonbridge School was Mary d. of Mr. Edward
Laughton of Gainsborough. Cawthorne' s father was Thomas C. of Sheffield
(Hunter's ' Hallamshire,' orig. ed. p. 176) and at the election of 1832 (Northern
Division of Lincolnshire) two Laughtons voted for freeholds at Gainsborough —
John Laughton of Gainsborough and Wm. Laughton of Doncaster. As to the
later generations of the Laughtons of Eastfield, I find that Edmund Laughton
when he voted at the Great West Kiding Election of 1841 is described as of Dou-
glas, Isle of Man, so that his descendants, if he left any, may be found, perhaps in
that Island. At the same time a W. (Eastfield) Laughton voted whose residence
was Tickhill. Whether Eastfield refers only to his residence, or was his Christian
name, which the Poll Book seems to assert, I am not aware."
I conclude with portion of a communication from Charles Jackson, Esq., of
Doncaster : —
" There were some Laughtons in the part of the country called the Isle of
Axholme, viz. about Epworth. Belton, etc., co. Lincoln. I have seen the name in
deeds occasionally, but I have no notes concerning them."
Charles Sotiteran".
* William Floyer was appointed Prebendary of Church Withington in Hereford Cathedral in
1716, and was succeeded in his stall by William Willim in 1752.

Jenkins (pp. 84, 122). — I have deeds, as trustee, connected with this family,
who, in fact, are related to us : all being well, I shall presently have to go through
them. They had relatives in Yorkshire. I am quite certain as to the following,
— John Jenkins, of Saltley Hall, Warwickshire; . . . Jenkins, of Northfield
(whose descendants have still property there) ; Lucius Chattock Jenkins, late of
Sutton Coldfield, and others. There are also Kettles in the same neighbour-
hoods. Some of the family are still living, and I will make a point of seeing them.

he left in manuscript a work entitled "The Heraldry of Trees and Birds." As
his work ' Heraldry of Fish,' published by Van Voorst in 1842, is a most interesting
book, as well as beautifully printed and illustrated, it is a pity that the companion
work should remain unpublished. Can any of your readers say in whose posses-
sion the manuscript now is ? A. W. M.

recording the foundation of Heryngham Priory by William Dawtree, the Monasticon thus speaks :
' The latin word Ripa, was in Norman writings generally meant for a river, without relation to Ripa
a bank. The Romans called it Raultrey. There was an ancient family of knights, owners of much
lands in these parts, and of fair possessions, even in the very bosom of the high stream from which
they took their name, and were called Be Haultrey? The ancient house here alluded to was the
stem of many important branches, the most flourishing of which was that planted in the county of
Sussex, at Moor House in Petworth, not very far from Battle Abbey itself. It produced a series
of knightly generations, which held the highest rank in their country, and intermarried with its
noblest families. . . . Another branch, sprung from De Alta Ripa, is now represented by Benjamin
Dealtby, Esq., Lofthouse-hall, co. York."— vide 'The Roll of Battle Abbey, annotated by John
Bernard Burke, Esq.,' 1848, pp. 48-9. William De-Alta-Ripa founded 1185 a Cistercian Nunnery
at Gokwelle, co. Lincoln, which was granted, 30 Henry VIII., to Sir William Tirwhit.

f " Bellisle, described in 1834 as — one of those graceful, incipient ruins in which — ' Decay's
effacing fingers — Have swept the lines where beauty lingers,' — is now restored to more than its
pristine elegance. The mansion, though plain, is substantial and commodious, commanding, we
believe, the finest view which can be obtained (except from a considerable and uninhabitable eleva-
tion) of the upper Lake " (i. e. Lough Erne) " and its numerous isles. The plantation is old, and
comprises several yew groves, which are venerable enough to have furnished bow-staves to the war-
riors and hunters of the Mac Manuses, who, in the days of the red deer and wolf, lorded it over
this island as their home and citadel. Tradition places a monastery, with which the old yews have
probably some connexion, upon this island. . . . Whether a monastery existed here or not, Bellisle,
or rather Bally Mac Manus, the old name of the place, is interesting as having been the residence
of Cathal Maguire, a learned writer, who here, in the 14th. century, compiled one of the best collec-
tions of the Annals of Ireland which we still possess, and which are known as ' The Annals of
Ulster.' " vide ' Wakeman's Lough Erne,' pp. 64-5.
X At G-ola, near Lough Erne, was a monastery founded by MacManus, Lord of the place, and
granted at the suppression of the monastic houses, to Sir John Davis, Knight.
§ " The county " (i. e. Fermanagh) " abounds in Lakes. Hence it was called in Irish, Feor-
magk-eanagh, ' the Country of the Lakes.' It was made shire ground in the 11th. of Elizabeth ;
being then in a very unsettled state, and divided between two powerful septs — the Mac Manuses
and the Mac Guires." vide—" Ireland : Its Scenery, Character, &c. by Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hall,"

Notes.
The following incident in the escape of Charles II., whilst under the guidance of Eichard Pen-
derell, is taken from the 4 Worcestershire Miscellany ' (Worcester, 1831, Edwin Lees) : —
44 They reached Madeley about midnight, and proceeded to a large stone mansion then inhabited
by a royalist gentleman of the name of Woolf who, however, tired of the confusion and insecurity
of the times (his son being at that moment a prisoner at Shrewsbury), on being roused from his
sleep, refused to compromise his safety for any person less than the King. Eichard Penderell upon
this discovered Charles, who was rather uneasy, but had no cause to repent this confidence, as the
old cavalier instantly paid him every attention ; but as on former occasions the hiding places of the
house had been discovered and republican troopers were in the neighbourhood, it was deemed most
prudent to shelter him in an adjoining barn, behind the corn and hay. During the remainder of
the night and the whole of the next day, here Charles and Penderell remained ; but in the dusk of
evening Mr. Woolf and his son, who had been released from captivity, came and brought, them some
refreshment, but advised the King by no means to attempt the passage of the Severn, as it was
strictly guarded and the boats seized. Charles instantly decided for a return to Boscobel, thinking

he should then hear of Lord Wilmot, with whom he had still an idea of reaching London, Leaving
Madeley, therefore, Mrs. Woolf having first darkened his face and hands with walnut leaves, they
set off in the dark, at eleven o'clock, to avoid the Evelin miller, waded through the stream that
turned his mill, reaching Boscobel House about five o'clock, having first heard at John Penderel's in
their way, that Lord Wilmot was concealed at Mr. Whitgreave's of Moseley Hall, eight miles dis-
tant, and that Major Carlis, having escaped from Worcester (where Blount says he saw the ' last
man kil'd'), was now at Boscobel House for safety, thinking his own residence of Brom Hall, in the
vicinity, insecure."
This account may have been derived from the following sources : — " The Civil W arres of Great
Britain and Ireland, containing an exact history of their occasion, original, Progress, and happy
end " : London, 1661. " Boscobel or the compleat History of His sacred Majesty's most miraculous
preservation after the Battle of Worcester " : ' Gentleman's Magazine,' v. 59, 1739 ; and Worcester,
1769. " An account of the preservation of King Charles 2. after the Battle of Worcester, drawn
up by himself" : Glasgow, 1766, from a MS. in Mag. Coll. Cambridge. From this latter account it
appears that the younger Woolfe had been released and arrived at home before the King left.

THE YAEKER FAMILY OE YORKSHIRE.
Although, so far as it goes, the pedigree of this family is correctly given by Sir
Bernard Burke in his ' Landed Gentry,' it is, nevertheless, defective in collateral
branches, and therefore it is hoped that the present contribution of authentic
materials may lead to others investigating the subject.
The family is supposed to have sprung from a soldier of fortune, who came to
England from the Low Countries during the Wars of the Roses, and probably
about 1471, in which year Edward IV. landed a body of Flemish auxiliaries in
Yorkshire.*
The elder line of this family has occupied Leyburn Hall, Yorkshire, for four
centuries, during which period it has given off, it appears, only two branches, viz.
one settled on the borders of Durham circa 1500, and the other in Westmoreland
circa 1656. From these three there can scarcely be a question that all of the name
in England are descended, considering local circumstances and the extreme rarity
of the name.

* Parents of William, who had a son in 1549 (?).
f From one of these probably descend the Yarkers of Barton, Ovington, and Rookby.
% The Cumberland Hodgsons — represented by David Hodgson, Esq., of Scotby, J. Yarker, Jr.,
of Manchester, and General Hodgson — are believed to be of Yorkshire descent, settled in Cumber-
land circa 1500, and connected with the Lascelles and other old Yorkshire families.
§ From her will, at Carlisle, it would seem that her family name was Winter, and that she had
a brother-in-law, Henry Yarker, who probably had a son, as a Thomas was resident at Kirkby
Stephen about 1761. Michael and Henry, there is no doubt, would be near relatives of John Yarker,
whose issue by marriage with Anne Leyburn are recorded by Burke. John Yarker (died 1753) left
three sons : I. Robert, the ancestor of the Yarkers of Ulverstone and Isleworth. II. John (born 1730,
died 1809), married (1762) Margaret, daughter of John Bradley, gentleman, Knipe, and his wife
Jane Nicholson, and left issue, — I. Thomas (born 1766, died 1841) ; II. William (born 1770, died
1814), married (1803) Anne Day, of London, and has issue Rev. Wm. Yarker, Vicar of Ravenstone-
dale, co. Westmoreland. 1st, Elizabeth (twice married at Whitehaven) ; 2nd, Jane ; 3rd, Anne.
Their eldest son Thomas married Grace, daughter of John Steely, and his wife Margaret Stoddart,
statesmen, Great Salkeld, and had issue an only son, John Yarker, of Manchester (born 1809), married
(1832) Anne, daughter of John Fell, statesman, and his wife Mary, daughter of John Bewley, by his
wife Julian Hodgson, sole surviving heiress of John Hodgson (married Julian Howord), elder brother
of Field-Marshal Studholme Hodgson, who married Catherine, daughter of Field-Marshal Sir Geo.
Howord. They were sons of John Hodgson, collector of Customs, Wormanby. The third brother,
Thomas (born 1740, died 1806), married and had issue. — Thomas, George, John, James, from
whom descend the Yarkers of Westmoreland, now represented by Robert, of Cambridge University,
and Richard, of Shap.

Note to Chaddock Pedigeee (p. 134). — The writer of this note would be
exceedingly obliged by any information respecting the family of Chaddock or
Chattock. He has more than a thousand documents from temp. Henry II. to the
present time, containing some eight thousand names, from which he would be most
happy to reciprocate, as he has already done with more than one reader of this Mis-
cellany. There is a seal appended to one of them (anterior in date to this Visitation),
with the cross of these arms upon a shield. Fairbairn's ' Crests ' has for Chadock,
" on a ducal coronet or, a martlet gules." Dugdale never saw these charters and
deeds, but Mark Noble did, as he was decidedly of opinion that the name origi-
* Dr. Vaughan stated in the ' Athenseum ' in 1861, that this chapel, Spreswell, Ovington, was
the place where Wycliffe was born. He quotes John Chapman, a gentleman of respectable position
in G-ainsford, as saying, — " Spreswel, or Speswel, stood close to the river Tees, half a mile from
Wycliffe and on the same side of the river. There was a chapel there, in which were married Wil-
liam Yarker and Penitent Johnston, and their son John related the occurrence to me, his grandson,
many times. The above couple were the last married there, for soon after the chapel fell down."
There seem to be many scattered descendants of this couple living in the North Riding of York-
shire and one of them settled in Manchester, from Barnard Castle, fifty years ago.
t His will, proved at York, 1763, mentions his cousins William Yarker, of Ovington, and Wm.
Yarker, of Barton, yeomen.

MISCELLANEA GENEALOGICA ET HEBALDICA.
nated from the Chad of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (p. 55, Ingram), and Chad of
Lichfield ; if so, which is most probable, a brother, or nephew, or cousin of the
Bishop must have settled in the diocese. The etymon of " Chadshunt," Warwick-
shire, is clearly indicative of the presence of a layman of that name. The fol-
lowing short scheme is confirmatory of Noble's opinion : —
In the ' Teutonic Name System ' of Ferguson it states that " there is perhaps
no more ancient or interesting name than Catomore. — Catumerus mentioned as the
chief of a German tribe by Tacitus. Grimm (' Deutsche Grammatik ') holds this
name to contain the most ancient form of Chad.- War. We have names exhibiting
the various corresponding forms, viz. Chad, Chaddock, Chattock, Chatto, and Catto.
So I do not think there is any thing fanciful in the suggestion that we have a name
which can be traced up to the time of Tacitus. Ock comes to us through the
Anglo-Saxon." The "more" in Catomore is a suffix, and means illustrious. See
also Forstemann's ' Altdeutsches Namenbuch.' " No language has dealings in
meaningless terminations. In ancient Celtic oc means young. Ock, like ing, is a
genetival suffix." — Philological Society's Papers. " According to historical origin,
the syllable ock is Anglo-Saxon and Gothic." — Dr. Latham, Professor of the
English Language.
The diminutive ock in Chadock is a genetival suffix, expressive of cadency, the
same as the diminutival suffix ock in hillock means a little hill. The simple transi-
tion from Chadock to Chattock in the spelling is orthographically correct. In the
infancy of all languages, and particularly early English, d and t were as legitimately
interchangeable as i and j are now. " The letters most closely allied in phonetics
are the most frequently interchanged in grammar." — Professor Latham. In old
English, the words father and mother were spelt "fader and moder." This gives
Chatock. The occurrence of the double t in Chattock is also strictly correct.
" The reduplication of the consonant after a vowel, as in spotted, merely denotes
that the preceding vowel is short." — Professor Latham. The name is even now
daily spelt Chaddock and Chattock, according to true orthoepy or otherwise. The
charters and deeds relating to the Chattock property commence temp. Hen. II.,
and it appears from their contents that the original tenure was booked or char-
tered Saxon free land (see Wilkins, ' Leges Anglo- Saxonicse '), and one of these
documents (a list of properties formerly held by the family) records one of them
at Little Sutton, bearing towards Lichfield, and called " Chadd[h]alle Felde,"
which had an ancient red-sandstone residence upon it in 1550. The old parish
plans show that land was also held by the family at Sutton Coldfield, Penns, and
Erdington, all in a direct line to Castle Bromwich. The family name of Chad
must have been thoroughly impressed upon the diocese of Lichfield (formerly
archiepiscopal and containing Chester and the whole of Mercia), for after only two
hours' search in the registers there, besides Chaddock and Chattock, the following
related names were found, viz. Chading (son of Chad), Chadd, Chadborn, Chat-
born, and Chatfield. This is the only search as yet of public records ; but viewing
the case as it at present stands, either in an etymological or genealogical light, the
soundness of the conclusion that Noble arrived at is apparent.
There is no such place as Chaddock, excepting Chaddock Hall, the seat of this
branch of the family (see Baines's ' Lancashire and Ordnance Map '). Chatborn
or Chadborn is doubtless from a female descent, corresponding with Chadock in the
male ; Chatfield, from the foregoing " Chadd Feld" ; Chetwind, from a village in
Salop (see Harwood's ' Erdswick,' pp. 55-6) ; Chadwick, from the village of that
name (see Shaw's Staff.), and so late as 1480 the affix " de " to this name was not
discontinued ; and Chetwood, from the name of a wood (see Kemble's ' Codex
Diplomaticus iEvi Saxonici'). These places, together with Chat Moss, were all
named from a Chad (see Baines, sup., as to latter). It is remarkable that the
heralds assign arms to Chad, Chaddock, Chadwick, Chetwind, Chetwood, and other
kindred names, corresponding with the affinity in their etymon. Dallaway, p. 362,
says that marshalling by inescutcheon is sometimes on account of inheritance and
special concession, as well as marriage.

barrack point, . . . and are soon abreast of that old stronghold of the Maguires, Princes of Ferma-
nagh, the Castle of Enniskillen. This once important fortress has stood many a siege. In 1595 it
had been taken from Maguire by the English, under Sir William Fitzwilliam, the Lord Justice.
The Lord of Fermanagh, Aodh Maguire, aided by Aodh, the red O'Donnell, Donal Gorm Mac Don-
nell, and MacLeod of Arran, at once besieged the English, who were destined to suffer a siege of
the duration of two months and a half. This affair led to the celebrated battle of Bel-atha-na-M

Briosgaidh, or, of the place or ' mouth of the Ford of the Biscuits,' which occurred on a ford of
the Arney, near Drummane bridge, at a distance of about six miles from Enniskillen. It appears
tbat the Lord Justice, fearing the loss (through starvation) of the English Garrison of Enniskillen,
collected an immense quantity of provisions, arms and stores, which he forwarded under the escort
of an army to the relief of the Castle. Maguire, by his scouts, was aware of everything that was
going on, and he wisely thought that the best thing he could accomplish was to intercept the convoy.
This he did at Drummane, where, in the words of the annalists, ' a violent and fierce conflict, and a
strenuous and determined battle, ensued between both parties ; but at length the Maguire and his
forces defeated the other party by force of arms.' . . . Belview, the seat of John Cullum, Esq., may
be seen a little further on, and before it the little island of InisJceen, or the ' Beautiful Island,' which,
by the by, contains the ruins of a church, in ancient times the parish church of the district in which
Enniskillen stands. . . . After rounding rinns, or projecting headlands, without number, we pass by
the rich island of Cleenish, anciently Claen-inis, or the ' sloping Island,' where in the sixth century,
saint Sinncll founded a monastery, which was destined in later times to become very famous, and some
remains of which were to be seen late in the last century. Alas for ecclesiologists ! its walls were
removed as building materials for the fort " (a portion of the monument erected near the town of
Enniskillen in honour of General the Honourable Sir Galbraith-Lowry Cole, G.C.B.) " on Cole's Hill !
The wind freshens as we glide past Inismore Hall, and soon after passing Carry Bridge, and rounding
a point, we catcli a sight of Bellisle, once the seat of Lord Eoss, but at present the charming resi-
dence of J. G. V. Porter, Esq. Here it was that in the fourteenth century Cathal Maguiro " (Cathal
Mac Manus Maguire, canon of Armagh and dean of Clogher, the original compiler of the Annals of
Ulster, who died in 1498), " a learned antiquary, compiled the famous annals of Ulster. The Island
was formerly styled Bally Mac Manus, from the name of the clan by which it was occupied."

AFFIDAVIT MADE BY SIR ISAAC NEWTON, BEFORE A MASTER IN CHANCERY,
IN PROOF OF AND ACCOMPANYING HIS PEDIGREE*
Sir Isaac Newton, of St. James's parish in the county of Middlesex Knight, and Master and
Worker of Her Majesty's Mint, voluntarily maketh Oath that this Deponent hath a deed of feoff-
ment of John Newton, who was (as he hath reason to believe) his great grandfather's father dated
the 19 th day of December, in the fourth yeare of Queene Elizabeth in the yeare 1562, wherein by the
name of John Newton of Westby in the County of Lincoln he settled his Estate in Wilstrope, in
the parish of Colsterworth in the said County, on his five sons, Richard, George, Robert, Symon
and William Newton, and their heirs successively ; Which said John Newton, by agreement of time,
and being called of Westby, he verily believes to have been the same person with one John Newton,
whom he finds by an attested extract of the register of Basingthorp cum Westby aforesaid, to have
been buried in that Church on the 22 nd day of December, Anno Dom. 1563, being the yeare after
the said feoffment, and likewise to have been the same person mentioned in a Visitation of Lincolnshire
made in or about the year 1634, now remaining in the Herald's Colledge in London, there called John
Newton first son of John Newton of Westby aforesaid, and Brother of Thomas Newton, Richard
Newton, and William Newton, of Gunnerby, great grandfather of Sir John Newton, of Hather in the
said County, Baronet ; he having by tradition from his kindred ever since he can remember, reckoned
himselfe next of kin (among the Newtons) to Sir John Newton's family, and having also, about fifty-
four or fifty-five years ago, heard his grandmother Ascough (with whom he lived at Wylstrope afore-

said alias Woolstrope, till he was about eleven years old, and who at that time frequently conversed
with the Deponent's great Uncle Eichard Newton) say, that he, this Deponent, was or had been next
heir att law to M r Newton, of Hather, until the birth of M r Newton's children, who were then two
or three infants, and that he and they were cousins two or three times removed, or words to that
purpose, and he, this Deponent, believing that his said Grandmother, upon the marriage of her
daughter with his father, might learn the kindred, and that his gi'andfather Newton, to promote
the marriage, might be forward to speak of itt, representing himself cousin once removed, and
next heir to said M r Newton, att that time six or seven years under age, afterwards father to Sir
John Newton. And further this Deponent saith, that Richard Newton first above mentioned is
great grandfather and first son of the second John Newton, enjoyed the said estate at Woolstrope,
according to the said Settlement, as appears by a deed in this Deponent's possession, of settlement of
the said estate on this Deponent's father and mother, dated the 30 th day of December, in the 15 th
yeare of King Charles the First, 1639, made by Robert Newton, the eldest son of the said Richard,
and this, Deponent's grandfather, wherein are these words (and which formerly descended and came
unto the said Robert Newton after the death of Richard Newton, father to the said Robert Newton),
and this Deponent saith, that he finds by an attested copy of the register of Colsterworth cum
Woolstrope aforesaid, that one Richard Newton was buried there the 30 th day of April 1588 whom
he believes to be the same Richard, his grandfather's father. And the said Robert Newton he finds
to have been buried at Colsterworth aforesaid by the said extract, on the 20 th day of September
1641 leaving issue three sons, first, Isaac Newton, mentioned in the said deed of settlement of the
15 th of King Charles the First, and whom he finds by Colsterworth register to have been baptized
the 21 st of December 1606 ; secondly, Robert Newton, baptized likewise the 27 th of September,
1607, who lived afterwards at Counthorp in the same county, and whose issue are still living : and
thirdly, Richard Newton baptized likewise there the 9 th of April 1609, who lived at Colsterworth,
and left issue still remaining there. And further this Deponent saith, that the said Isaac, this De-
ponent's father married Hannah daughter of James Ascough of Market Overton in the County of
Rutland, Gentleman, and that he was buried at Colsterworth aforesaid, on the 6 th day of October,
1642, seized of the said estate of Woolstrope, which is descended to, and now is enjoyed by, this
Deponent his only child, who was born the 25 th of December, and baptized the 1 st day of January
in the said yeare 1642. This deponent's mother, Hannah Ascough remarried to Barnabas Smith,
Rector of North Witham in Lincolnshire, by whom she had issue Mary, Benjamin, and Hannah,
each of which have issue remaining.
In witness whereof this Deponent hath hereunto put his hand and seale, this two and twentieth
day of November, Anno Dom. 1705.

CERTIFICATE OF SIR JOHN NEWTON, BART., ACCOMPANYING SIR ISAAC
NEWTON'S PEDIGREE.
Sir John Newton, of Thorpe in the parish of Hather> in the county of Lincoln, Baronet, aged
about fifty-three years, certifieth that his deponent hath heard his father Sir John Newton Baronet
aged about seventy and three years at the time of his death, speak of Isaac Newton Master of Arts
and Fellow of Trinity Colledge in Cambridge now Sir Isaac Newton Knight, Master and Worker of
her Ma tics Mint in the Tower of London and of St. James's Parish in the County of Middlesex,
as of his Relation and Kinsman. And this deponent saith, that upon his view of a coppy of an entry
of the family of Newton, said to be entered in a visitation of the said county of Lincoln, made
in or about the year 1634, and said to be now remaining in the Herald's Colledge in London, he
finds one John Newton of Wcstby in the said County, mentioned to have had four sons, viz. John
Newton, Thomas Newton, Richard Newton, and one William Newton of Gunncrby in the said
County, which said William Newton was his great Grandfather, aiid believes the said Sir Isaac
Newton to be descended from the said John Newton, son to John Newton of Westby, the Common
Ancestor, and first mentioned in that entry, but knoweth not in what particular manner, but that
the said Sir Isaac hath alwaies been reckoned by him of the same name and blood with his family.
In witness whereof the said Sir John Newton hath hereunto set his hand and seal this 21 st day
of November, in the year 1705. —

Skynwer, on Skinner, op Bolingbroke, and Thornton College, Lincoln-
shire. — I wish, to take an opportunity of correcting the two first descents in this
pedigree as printed in 4 Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica,' Monthly Series,
October, 1870 (antea, p. 81). Since that communication was made I have by
chance discovered, at Lincoln, the will of John Skynner* of that city, merchant,
dated 30th December, 1545 (date of probate torn off), who died, as appears from
his Inq. p. m., on the 11th of October, 1545. From these documents it is now
plainly seen that he — and not John Skynner, the Receiver of the Honor of Boling-
broke and grantee of the arms in 1557 — was the father of Sir Vincent and Henry
Skynner. It furthermore appears that the grandfather of the two latter was not
Robert Skynner, of Exeter, but a Robert Skynner, also of Lincoln, whose will is
printed at length in ' Notes and Queries,' 1st ser. x. 377. These circumstances
explain the discrepancy alluded to in my note (p, 81) as to the arms borne by the
Thornton College family, to whom those forming the subject of the grant by Hervy
do not seem to belong. The pedigree should commence thus : —

Some genealogical information respecting Dr. Claudius Gilbert, who was Vice-
Provost of Trinity College, Dublin, 1716-35, and a very liberal contributor to its
noble library, is desired. Having been appointed to the rectory of Ardstraw, in
the diocese of Derry, in July, 1735, he died in October, 1742 ; and his executors
were the Rev. Dr. Hodson, of Omagh, Richard "Warburton, Esq., of Donnycarney,

Smith (p. 48). — Newton Smith, nephew of Sir Isaac Newton, was under age
in 1712. He afterwards married Catherine, the daughter of "William "Wimberley,
son of "William Wimberley (long residents at Bitchfield), postmaster of the district
between Stamford and Grantham, who resided at Witham. On July 20, 1716,
was baptized at "Witham, Catherine, the daughter of Newton Smith and Mrs.
Catherine ; on April 7, 1718, Isaac Newton Smith, son of the same ; and on Eeb.
25, 1719, Sarah, daughter of the same. These baptisms are from the register of
South Witham. They afterwards lived at Barrowby, near Grantham, and to the
father, Sir Isaac Newton was guardian. The signature of Benjamin Smith, with
the date 1723, is on the cover of the Witham parish register, which commences in
1686. In the King's Silver Office is the record of a fine, Trinity Term, 1761;
William Manners, plaintiff, and Benj. Smith, clerk, and Benj. Brown and Sarah,
deforciants, of messuages, cottages, and lands in South Witham. Mrs. Sarah
Brown, widow of Mr. Benj. Brown, of Owston, Leicestershire, and daughter of
Newton Smith alluded to above, and sister of Isaac Newton Smith, had a fine
original picture of Sir Isaac Newton, by Kneller, which she sold to the Duke

Erost. — "William Erost emigrated to New England prior to 1655, in which
year he removed from Boston and united in the settlement of Cromwell Bay, on
Long Island. In 1G67 he removed to Matinecock, in Oyster Bay, L. I., where
he died about 1698 or 1699, leaving two sons, "William and Wright Erost. By
his will, made March 28, 1698, he directs that in the event of the death of both
these sons without issue, his estate shall " return to any of the Erosts that de-
scended from G-eorgc Erost, born in Bensteed, two miles from Earnham, in
Hampshire, in Old England — to the first heirs or heiresses so descending." Any
information from parish registers or other sources which throw light on the genea-
logy of George Erost, presumed to be the father of William above named, would be
very acceptable. I. J. L.
Smith. — Richard Smith, of the parish of Bramham, West Riding of Yorkshire
baptized 10th May, 1593, buried 19th November, 1647, had an only son, Richard
baptized 15 October, 1626, married to Ann Yeates, by Paul Beale, Alderman of
York, 25 Eebruary, 1653, died at Bramham 1688. A MS. of his grandson says of
the second R. S., "he was educated for the Gowne, but y e troubles in EDgland at
that time prevented his Proceeding." He became one of the Proprietors of West
New Jersey, in America, whither his sons went, and where his descendants con-
tinued for a long time to fill important public offices, — one of them (Richard
Smith) representing the province in the Continental Congress in 1776. Could the
pedigree of R. S., No. 1, be traced ? A seal used by his great-great-grandson
Samuel Smith, author of a valuable History of the Colony of New Jersey, pub-
lished in 1765, bears these arms, — Argent a lion rampant gules, crowned, sceptred
and orbed or. Thos. Stewardson, Jx\
Qermantotvn, Philadelphia.
Chaddock (pp. 134, 155). — It would seem probable that the name Chad is'
derived from the 0. G. cat (Jiat) =hellum, militia, prselium (0. Sax. guth, Eranc.
gund, Ice. gudur, W. and Corn, cad, Gael, and Ir. catli, Basq. cudu, Sansk. yudh,
yodli. Conf. also the ancient name Catvalda and the inverse Vellocatus=belli-
potens ; and Csedmon, miles, bellator, vir belli) ; and Chatto and Catto are doubt-
less O. Gr. forms of the same name ; although Catto may also be from Catto, co.
York. Chaddock, Chattock, and Haddock, may be diminutives of Chad [Conf.
the Italian diminutives in uccio, uccia ; as casuccia\ . The names Chadborn, Chat-
born, and Chat Moss do not appear to be connected with the other mentioned
names. The two former are doubtless derived from a river name, Chad, Chat, or
Ket, i. q. Gade, a river, co. Herts; Gote, a river of Sweden; from a Su-Gothic
word. The name Catomore may not always be from Catumerus=bello clams.
Catmore and Catmur may be from Catmere in Berks. As a rule, heraldry is of
little value in deciphering proper names. The arms of the Celtic name Liverpool
are " argent a liver (bird) azure "; on the town-seal of Hartlepool a stag is repre-
sented in a pool ; whilst a Robins family (whose name is clearly derived from
Robert) has for crest " Three Robins." R. S. Charnock.

P.S. Since writing the above, I have been in communication with Mr. Chattock,
of Castle Broinwich, who thinks the name Cerdic contains all the elements of the
name Chadock ; thus — Cerdic, Cher die, Char doc, Chadoc, Chattock. But whence
the name Cerdic ? I can suggest no other etymology than from lier-teoclic, which
will translate both " war leader" and "renowned leader." Conf. the German

WILLIAMS.
The following extracts from the registers of Oswestry and Nannerch relate to
the family of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart. William Williams, Esq., with
whom the Oswestry extracts begin in the year 1700, succeeded his father, the
Eight Honourable Sir Wm. Williams, Bart., in his title and large estates. The
latter had been Speaker of the House of Commons in 1679-80. Edward, the
eldest son of William Williams, Esq., as will be seen, died a child. Watkin, the
second son, succeeded — under the will of his kinsman, Sir John Wynn, Bart. —
to the extensive estates of Wynnstay, and assumed the additional surname of
Wynn. Upon the death of his father, Sir William Williams, Bart., he became
the first Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart. Eobert, the second son of Sir Wil-
liam, married Merryel Williames, represented in Parliament the county of Mont-
gomery, and died without issue. Richard, another son, whose name appears in the

Ellis Eamilt. — I am preparing a second Supplement to my ' Notices of the
Ellises,' and should be obliged by the following information : —
Ancestry and descendants of Sir John Ellys, sometime owner of the manor of
Totehill, co. Cambridge.
Parentage of the Eev. John Ellis, B.D., the first known ancestor of Baron
Mendip, afterwards Viscount Clifden. He is described in his memorial in Wad-
desdon Church, co. Bucks, as " Eboracensis." He was Eector there, 1661, and
was Eellow of Catharine Hall, Cambridge. He died 1681, ret. 75, and married
Susannah Welbore.
Ancestry and descendants of Sir William Ellis, appointed, 1731, Ensign in
Brigadier Tyrrel's Eegiment.
Ancestry and descendants of the following — Thomas Ellis, Esq., ob. 1735,
ret. 92, G-room of the Chamber to James II. Hugh Ellis, Esq., ob. 1749, ret. 98,
formerly Secretary to the Duke of Marlborough. Eichard Ellis, Usher of the
Court of Wards and Liveries, 1617. Eight Honourable Sir Henry Ellis, &.C.B.,
formerly Ambassador to the Court of Persia, ob. 1855. Descendants of Eev.
Thomas Ellis, Minor Canon of Ely, who died 1764, and of his relative, Eev. Seth
Ellis, Incumbent of Brampton, co. Derby.
And I should be glad to know by what matches the following coats were
brought in and quartered, viz. Quarterly of four, 1, a chevron between three
cinqfoils (? Woodhouse of Suffolk) ; 2 and 3, three lions passant ; 4, on a cross
sable five crescents (Ellis), on an escutcheon of pretence, a lion passant.
Crest, a lion passant. Motto, Nemo me impune lacessit. They occur on a seal
formerly in the possession of Thomas Ellis, who died 1802. He was descended of
the Ellises of Orford, in Suffolk, who bore a lion passant. This family is supposed
to be an offset of Ellis of Chesterfield, a branch of those of Kiddall, who bore
or on a cross sable jive crescents argent. The lion passant was granted 1587, to
Ellis of Alrey, co. Flint, and was probably erroneously assumed by Ellis of Orford.

Henry Wright. — Who was Henry Wright ? He was created, in 1660, a
Baronet, as Sir Henry Wright, of Dagenham, Essex. Was he connected with the
Wrights of Kclvedon, Essex, or the Wrights of Kilverstone, Norfolk ? What
arms did he bear ? He married Anne, daughter of John, first Lord Crewe of
Stene. Was there any issue of that marriage ? It is probable that he did not
long survive his marriage, as his widow married Edmund Pye (ancestor of the Pye's
of Farringdon), and had several children by her second husband. Any information
respecting this Sir Henry Wright will greatly oblige C. W. H.

Tuke (p. 35). — In the number of your Journal for June, 1870, " C. G." asks,
who now represents the family of Sir Samuel Tuke? In the Heralds' College
there is a pedigree, sworn to by Sir John Evelyn, on the 8th of April, 1742, showing
that at that date only one of Sir Samuel's descendants was living, namely, his
second daughter, Theresa, the widow of Charles Trender, Esq., of Bourton-on-the-
Waters, co. Gloucester (who died 1718), she being then resident at Ligny, in the
Duchy of Bar. Sir Samuel ob. January 28, 1670-1, his will being proved in Lon-
don, by Mary, his relict, in 1674. He mentions, but does not name his children,
and leaves his wife sole executrix. She died at Lisbon, 1705.
The above-mentioned pedigree gives three children, — Charles, at whose death,
at the battle of the Boyne, the title became extinct ; Mary, the eldest daughter,
who died unmarried, 1740, and was buried at Cambray ; and the above-named
Theresa.
This pedigree traces the family from Sir Brian Tuke, through Thomas Tuke, of
Layer Marney (stated in Harl. MS. 1541 pedigree to be of Aldersgate Street, and
having a son Thomas, born 1612), who by his second wife, Judith, daughter of Edward
North, of Walkeringham, co. Notts, had Samuel, the first Baronet, who is said to
have had a son Samuel, the second Baronet. This agrees with Courthorpe ; but
Samuel Tuke was only knighted March 3rd, 1663, and created baronet March 31,
1664, and in the will above referred to he is styled " knight and baronet." Fur-
ther, in 1664, Evelyn, who only appears to refer to one Sir Samuel Tuke, mentions
his marriage ; in 1666, the death of his wife ; and again, in 1668, his [second]
marriage. Quere. Does not this show that Courthorpe and this pedigree are incor-
rect m making two baronets of this name ? W. M. Tuke.

Proued in the Archdeanery Court of Barnstyle on the 29 th day of November
Eaveistscroft (p. 79). — The enclosed extract from a Chester paper of July
1849, will give " Querans " the information he seeks : —
" Middlewich. — An Old English Signet Eing. — G-reek and Eoman Eings. —
Some labourers, while removing a hedge at Eavenscroft, near Middlewich, in the
spring of 1842, found an antique signet ring of fine gold (technically of 24 carats
fineness, the modern quality being 18 carats), on the face of which was engraven
an heraldic shield, bearing arms which are or were borne by the two families of
Eavenscroft and Vaudrey. The ring, which weighs 14 dwt. 10 grains, is now in
the possession of Mr. James Beardoe, of this town, and an impression of it having
been forwarded to Dr. Ormerod, the able historian of Cheshire, he writes as follows
respecting it : — ' I thank you for the impression of the ring. The arms, ' Argent
a chevron sable between three ravens' heads erased of the second,' are indisputably
those of Eavenscroft of Eavenscroft, whose heiress, Margery, brought that estate
to Eoger de Croxton in the time of Edward III. If the seal had been of the
period of a Eavenscroft of Eavenscroft, I conjecture that it would have been cir-
cumscribed ' S. : Warini de Eavenscroft,' or as the case might be. Erom its aspect,
I do not think that it is earlier than the beginning of Elizabeth's reign or later
than the Eevolution. In this opinion, I think it probable that it was the seal of
some Croxton of Eavenscroft, who fancied using the arms of his female ancestors ;
or it might be the seal of some collateral descendant of the old line, Eavenscroft
of Bretton for instance, who might lose it when visiting his kinsman. The first
idea seems to me the most probable. Within the period that I have mentioned,
Eavenscroft produced one well-known proprietor, Thomas Croxton, Colonel of one
of the Cheshire regiments raised to oppose Duke Hamilton in 1648, one of the
members of the Court Martial which condemned the Earl of Derby in 1651, and
the officer who closed the gates of Chester Castle against Sir Greorge Booth in
1659. It may have been his ring.' "
The Eavenscroft and Croxton estates adjoin. Ciciley Croxton, a spinster, was
the last of the Croxton owners of Eavenscroft, and for many years, in my recol-
lection, her ghost was said to haunt the old mansion.
In the reign of Elizabeth, John Croxton de Eavenscroft, gent., held certain
lands and tenements, with the appurtenances, in Kinderton, of Thomas Venables,
1617.
204
MISCELLANEA GENEALOGICA ET HERALDIC A.
lord of that manor, by service (inter alia) to find for the said Thomas Venables
and his heirs one hangman, to hang murderers and felons within the manor when
required. The Kinderton Court Rolls (6 Sept., 34 Eliz.) contain a presentment
by the jury that the said John Croxton rendered this service by hiring one John
Lingard, for the sum of five shillings, to hang Hugh Stringer, for the murder of
Ann Cranage and her daughter Ciciley Cranage. B. Ll. Vawdrey.
Barbor Family (Quarterly Series, Vol. I., p. 58). — From a recent examina-
tion of the parish register of North Luffenham, Rutland, I am enabled to forward
the following extracts relative to that family ; also some additional ones respecting
other families who were by marriage connected with them : —
1655. Catherine Weaver, wife of John "Weaver, bur. Dec. 24,
1656. Katherine, dau. of M r John Weaver, bapt. May 18.
1658. Hester, dau. of John Weaver, bapt. Sept. . . .
1659. Jonathan, son of John Weaver, bur. July 17.
1666. Doctor Samuel Winter, bur. Dec. 26. 1
1670. M 1 ' Christ. Broughton & M rs Frances Markham, mar. Aug. II. 2
1672. Rebecca, dau. of Richard Markham, esq., bapt, May 9. 8
1682. M r Henry Markham & M rs Esther Weaver, mar. Nov. 7.
1683. John son of M r Grabriel Barber, bur. in wollen only April 11.
1687. M rs Bridgett Barber, bur. in linnen Sept. 7.
1688. John Weaver, esq,, bur. in wollen only March 28. 4
1703. Elizabeth wife of M r Grabriel Barbour, bur. in wollen April 21.
1 This individual was Rector of Cottingham, co. York, who went to Ireland,
in 1650, as Chaplain to the Commissioners for the settlement of that country, and
soon afterwards was constituted Provost of Trinity College, Dublin. On the
south wall of the chancel of this church (Luffenham) is a marble table, having on
it these arms, — Chequy sable and or, a fess argent, impaling or, on a fess argent,
two garbs of the first ; and this inscription, — " Samuel Winter, D 1 ' of Divinity,
eminent for piety & learning, late Prouost of Trinity College near Dubline. lie
deceased the 24th of December in the yeare 1666 & in y e 63 yeare of his age. He
married Elizabeth y e daughter of Christ. Weaver, esq., who out of her entire
affection for him caused this to be set up in memorial of him."
2 Mr. Christopher Broughton was of Longden, Stafford, and Mrs. B. was the
third daughter of Robt. Markham, the first Baronet, of Sedgebrooke, Notts.
3 On the south wall of the chancel of this church is a marble tablet bearing
this inscription, — " Under the stone below lyeth interred the corps of Colonell
Henry Markham, who departed this life at Ketton in this county the 15th day of
January 1672 in the foure and fifty year of his age, whose widow (Hester, y e
daughter of Christ. Weaver, esq.) out of her deare affection to his memoriall hath
caused this monument to be erected 1673." On the tablet are these arms, —
1, (azure) on a chief (or), a demi-lion rampant issuant (gules) ; 2, chequy, over all
a bend ; 3, on a fess two lions' heads, crowned ; 4, on a bend cottised three bears' ?
heads couped ; 5, a cross saltire ; 6, a chevron between three bucks' heads ; 7, a
lion rampant; 8 as 3. Crest, a lion of St. Mark, sejant guardant, winged (or),
circled round the head (argent) supporting a lyre of the first, Markham. The
stone in the chancel was in existence in 1862, but, owing to the recent restoration
effected in the chancel, it was removed. It bore this inscription, — " Here lyeth
Col. Henry Markham, who was very instru'tal in y e happy restauration of K.
Charles y c 2 d , & was one of y e 48 gentlemen of y e Privy Chamber to y e said King
of ever blessed memory."
4 Mr. John Weaver was for several years representative for the Borough of
Stamford in Parliament, and also a benefactor to its charities. I am disposed to
think he was the eldest son of Christopher Weaver. Justin Simpson.

f Mrs. Lockey's will appears to have more than common interest, and an abstract is therefore
given, for the most part in her own words, but with the spelling modernized. The disposition of
her daughters, and the provision made for their maintenance and education, throws a curious light
on the manners and customs of the period.
In the name of God Amen, I Anne Lockey of Eidge, Co. Hertford, Widow, in reasonable good
health, " but not knowing how soon or sudainly it maie please the lord to call me hence." Soul to
God ; my body, if I die at Ridge, to be buried near my most dearly loving and beloved husband and
four children in Ridge church ; and 40/ to be given to the poor of Ridge. If I die elsewhere, 20/
to be given to the poor there, and 20/ where I shall be buried. I give £10 towards procuring an
able and conscionable minister to preach a sermon in the afternoon of the Saboth days at Ridge.
To my dearly beloved sisters M rs Wilmer, and M rs Woodrof, for a remembrance of my love — to my
sister Wilmer my furred cloak and my sute petticoat ; and to my sister Woodrof my sute of cut
silk grogram, my petticoat with two gold and silk laces, my best ruffe and ruffes and apron. And
also something which was mine, to my well beloved nephews M r Samuel Wilmer and M r John Vaux
and their wives, and also to my nephew M r John Wilmer. And also to my dear friend M rs Eliza-
beth Southcote ; and if she pleases to bring up my daughter Martha, I should think her well placed,
but not to charge her. To each of my servants 10/ besides their wages. To my son John Lockey
" as followeth, as a token of my dear loue and affection for him, and assuredly hopeing he will approue
himselfe after my departure, as euer heretofore he hath, a louing and dutifull Sonne in his christian
and faithfull loue and care for his Sisters, both for their educacon, and for their preferment to the
uttermost of his power, takeing a ffatherly care over them in all things wch ptain to their good for
soul and body ; I saie I give him all his ffathers and my books of la we, or other learning, saueing and
my will is he give each of his Sisters a bible, a testament and a psalm book, and such of my divinity
books in english as are fittest for their vse ; and some of my french bookes, if any of them have
skill therein. I giue to him my ffather his grandfather, and Vncle Stubbs their pictures, wishing
thay may allwaies mind him of their vertues for ymitacon of their worthy and religious courses." I
give him also that piece of ground called Sextons grove, which I rook up in his name at Tittenhanger
Court : also my wedding ring and my best furniture of my curtays and vallance embroidered,
feather bed, blankets, bolster and pillows at the Temple, and one of my best pair of sheets and pil-
loberes, and tablecloth and napkins and towels ; also the money I disbursed for his Chamber and
for his buildings, and the £38 I discharged. To my daughter Anne Lockey my necklace of gold
and pearl which hath her and my name in greek letters, my gold tablet enamelled, and the piece of
4 ducats ; and for a remembrance of her good grandmother, my dear mother, her picture to mind
her of her vertues ; also the purled silver bowl, also the nutt tipped with silver, and the gilt bowl
which was hers, also her best arras coverlet, the long pillows wi'ought with Crostick, and a tablecloth
and napkins of that linen which hath my mothers mark ; also my damask petticoat, and also half
of my apparel : the rest of my apparel most of it to my daughter Mary, at the discretion of their
aunts : and my confidence is that my two elder daughters will shew themselves loving and mother-
like to their younger sisters. I give to my daughter Mary as a remembrance of her careful and
loving attendance on me, my pearl border and necklace of pearls and garnets, and my bracelet of
pomander and pearls, and two 15/ pieces. I give my daughter Martha as a remembrance of her
loving affection to me, my ring with rubies and a diamond, and my seed pearl buttons with the
pearls which should be at the tops of them, also one of the best of my pearl and coral bracelets and

X As the will is short, an abstract may be given : — In the name of God, amen. I John Lockey
of Barking in the county of Essex, Esq. : sick in body : soul to God ; body to the earth. To my
little daughter Abigail, all my messuages &c. in the town and county of Nottingham, to her and her

Abigail £200, to be paid when she is 16. To Elizabeth Gisling, widow, my loving sister, £200, she
releasing to my wife Abigail Lockey all right or interest she may have to or in my real or personal
estate, or to any legacies given her by Ann Lockey her mother. Residue of estate to Abigail, my
loving wife, she to be executrix : dated March 25 1651 : signed John Lockey, in presence of Wil-
liam Ames — John Gartrand, and Edward Keighly : proved April 3 rd following, by Abigail Lockey
the widow : registered Grey 70.
Mr. Lockey was probably buried at Barking ; the Register was not kept regularly at the time of
his death, and there is no entry of hi3 burial.
§ Nothing further has been ascertained of William Lockey's children, nor does it seem to be
known whether he has any descendants. The Lockey wills recorded after 1699 would probably
furnish valuable information, but they are not open to literary inquiry.

Durham, by whom he had Henry, only son and heir, and Anne, only daughter.
He was created a baronet in June, 1660 ; and died February 5, 1664, aged 27 ; and
was buried in the family vault at South Weald. Anne, his widow, survived until

Belle Poule, Jan. 17, 1778 ; and on his return to the Bienfaisant, was in the action between Keppel
and d'Orvilliers off Ushant. He was also present at the capture of the Caraccas convoy, the
defeat of Don Juan de Langara, and the relief of Gibraltar by the fleet under Sir G. B. Rodney.
In the following August, he captured off Kinsale the Comte d'Artois, a large privateer of 44 guns,
after a smart action in which the enemy had 21 men killed and 35 wounded, and the Bienfaisant
3 killed and 20 wounded. It was a remarkable circumstance that in the following month, the
Bienfaisant captured another privateer called the Comtesse d'Artois. At the close of 1780, Mr.
Sotheron removed with his gallant Commander into the Artois frigate, which was considered to be
the finest vessel of her class in the world. This ship formed part of the force employed to watch
the motions of the Dutch squadron, which was then ready for sea in the Texel ; and our young
officer was consequently present in Aug. 1781, at the engagement off the Dogger Bank between Sir
Hyde Parker and Adm. Zoutmann. On the 3d Dec. in the same year, the Artois captured the
Hercules and Mars, Dutch privateers, mounting 24 nine-pounders and 10 cohorns each ; and she
also formed part of Adm. Barrington's fleet, which intercepted a French convoy bound to the East
Indies, on which occasion the Pegase of 74 guns, L'Actionnaire a 2-decker armed en flute, and ten
sail of transports, fell into the hands of the British. During the remainder of the war Mr. Sotheron
served in the Artois off the Irish coast. He afterwards proceeded to Newfoundland, where he was
promoted to the rank of Lieutenant by Adm. Campbell, in 1783, and served in that capacity on
board the Danae and iEolus frigate during the ensuing three years. We subsequently find him in
the Kingfisher sloop, from which vessel he removed into the Trusty 50, bearing the broad pendant
of Commodore Cosby on the Mediterranean station. Mr. Sotheron's next appointment was about
1792, to be first Lieutenant of the Romney, another 50-gun ship, carrying the flag of Rear- Adm.
Goodall in the Mediterranean : and in the course of the same year, he obtained the command of
the Fury of 14 guns, employed in affording protection to the trade between England and Portugal.
He subsequently accompanied the expedition under his old patron Rear- Adm. M'Bride and the Earl
of Moira, sent to assist the French royalists in Normandy and Brittany, and assisted at the capture of
La Vipere, a national corvette mounting 18 guns. Capt. Sotheron was advanced to Post rank
Dec. 11, 1793 ; and in the following year, we find him commanding the Monarch, a 74-gun ship
bearing the broad pendent of Sir James Wallace, with whom he removed into his old ship the
Romney, on that officer being appointed Commander-in-Chief at Newfoundland. Towards the
latter end of 1796, a French Squadron, under the orders of M. de Richery, invested that settle-
ment, and destroyed property to a considerable amount. The enemy's armament consisted of seven
sail of the line and three frigates, on board of which were embarked 2000 troops. Sir James Wal-
lace, however, by his judicious arrangements, aided by the bravery and vigilance of Capt. Sotheron,
and the other officers of his small squadron (consisting of the Romney, 2 frigates, and 2 sloops),
completely baffled the designs of the enemy, who, after a fruitless attempt to obtain possession
of the colony, returned to Europe. Capt. Sotheron's next appointment was to the Latona frigate
on the Newfoundland station, where he continued during the two following years. Subsequently
to his return to England, he was actively employed in the North Sea, and occasionally commanded
a light squadron off the coast of Holland. In the autumn of 1799, the Latona formed part of the
expedition sent against the Helder ; and after the surrender of that fortress, went with Vice- Adm.
Mitchell to attack the Batavian ships of war lying at anchor in the Vlieter channel, but which sur-
rendered without making any resistance, in consequence of the spirit of disaffection manifested by
their crews. For his services on this occasion, Capt. Sotheron, in common with the other officers
of the fleet, received the thanks of both Houses of Parliament. Capt. Sotheron continued in the
North Sea during the remainder of the war, and was fortunate enough to capture several of the
enemy's armed vessels. In the spring of 1802 he was sent abroad with dispatches, and some time
after the renewal of hostilities obtained the command of the Excellent, 74, attached to the Mediter-
ranean fleet under the orders of Lord Nelson, by whom he was entrusted with the defence of the
Bay of Naples, on which service we find him at the time when the ancient Neapolitan Government

Darrington Redness Swinflete Thribergh Brinsworth and Dennaby all in the
County of York Uncle of The Right Honorable John late Earl of Mexbrough
which William was eldest son and heir of William Sotheron sometime of Pontefract
Esquire by Lucy his Wife daughter of Edward Thompson of Marston in the
County of York Esquire and Coheir of her brother Tyndall Thompson Esqnire all
deceased hath represented unto The Most Noble Charles Duke of Norfolk Earl
Marshal and Hereditary Marshal of England that his Ancestors have been most
respectably settled on their own Estates at Holm in Spaldingmore and Hook in
the West Riding of the County of York for more than two Centuries past as
proved by the family Evidences now in his possession and that his Ancestors have
intermarried with the heirs general of Mitchell of Hook and other ancient and
respectable families in the said County and have long borne for Coat Armour Gules
on a bend Argent three Eagles displayed Sable and for Crest An Eagle with two
Heads displayed Crowned but on a due search being made in the Heralds College
he the said Frank Sotheron does not find them recorded there to his family and
being unwilling to continue the use of them without lawful authority requested
the favor of His Grace's Warrant for Our granting the said Arms with such varia-
tion as may be necessary to be borne by him and his descendants and by his four
Sisters Lucy, Elizabeth and Mary Catherine Sotheron, Spinsters and Henrietta
Wife of the Reverend William Dealtry of Wigginton in the County of York,
Clerk, and their descendants according to the Laws of Arms : And forasmuch as
the said Earl Marshal did by Warrant under his hand and seal bearing date the
twenty fourth day of May instant authorize and direct Us to grant and exemplify
such Armorial Ensigns accordingly : Know ye therefore that We the said Garter
and Norroy in pursuance of His Grace's Warrant and by virtue of the Letters
Patent of Our several Offices to each of Us respectively granted do by these Pre-
sents grant exemplify and confirm unto the said Frank Sotheron the Arms fol-
was displaced by the French army, and the throne of that kingdom usurped by Joseph Buonaparte.
In this state of affairs the very prudent arrangements made by Capt. Sotheron prevented the mis-
chief that would otherwise have ensued. On the 1st of August, 1811, Capt. Sotheron was pro-
moted to the rank of Rear -Admiral. On the vacancy occasioned in the representation of Notting-
hamshire by the resignation of Lord William Bentinck in 1814, Bear-Adm. Sotheron was unani-
mously elected M.P. for that county in conjunction with Capt. Lord Newark, now" (1839) "Earl
Manvers, and thus was presented the novel spectacle of a county represented in the senate by two
naval officers. In 1816 " (? 1806), " on the demise of his eldest brother Col. Sotheron, who served
for the borough of Pontefract in several Parliaments, Bear-Adm. Sotheron, as heir-at-law, suc-
ceeded to the family estates in the counties of York and Nottingham. He was advanced to the
rank of Vice- Admiral in 1819, and to that of full Admiral in 1830. He continued to represent
Nottinghamshire until the dissolution in 1831, when, in consequence of his opposition to the Beform
Bill, he was successfully opposed by John Evelyn Denison, esq." (now the Bight Hon. Viscount
Ossington of Ossington and formerly Speaker of the House of Commons), " one of the present"
(L839) " members for the Southern Division of that county. Adm. Sotheron was twice married.
His first wife died on the 29th May, 1812 ; and he married secondly, Nov. 13, 1813, the eldest
daughter of Wilson Braddyll, of Conishead Priory, co. Lancaster, esq. His heir is Lucy Sarah
Sotheron, an only child." Fide — 'The Gentleman's Magazine,' N.S., vol. xi. pp. 655-6, June,

The only known quarterings in the above shield are 1st and 6th, Ashburner, argent a fesse
between three crescents gules (the Indian branch carrying three mullets or, on the fesse, for difference) ;
2nd, Moulson (or Moulton), gules a chevron coinponee or and sable (left argent with the lines of
division, in the oil-painting mentioned below) between three mullets of the second ; 5th, Hargrove
of Hargrove (yel Hargrave), Cheshire, argent a griffin segreant per fesse gules and sable, beak and
claws or. As to what families the 3rd and 4th quarterings belonged I am unable to say. They
were, however, brought in by the Moulsons, and I think one of them will be for Rosengrave (pro-
bably the 3rd), the 4th being like some of the early Plantagenet coats, and intended, no doubt, for
Orbs. According to the letter of the French Commodore Moulson, from Dunkerque, 1788, to his
cousin, Mrs. Mary Ashburner (nee Moulson), the Moulsons in early times married the coheirs of
Rosengrave, Orbs, and Hargrave, which is corroborated, as far as I can see, by a well-executed old
oil-painting of the quarterings, crest, and motto, of about the reign of Queen Anne, formerly in the
possession of the late Mr. George Ashburner of Kensington, and from which I copied these Moulson
quarterings many years since. Ormerod's 'Cheshire' describes the same quarterings as existing on
the old tomb of a Moulson of Wheelocke, near Sandbach, and on referring to Burke's ' General
Armoury,' I find the 2nd and 5th quarters to be the coats of the families I have mentioned. The
direct ancestor of the Moulsons was Lord Mayor of London in 1<>34 ; but although Commodore
Moulson refers in his letter to a pedigree in the College of Arms, I have been unable, after a tolerably
long search, assisted very kindly by the late York Herald, Tho. Wm. King, Esq., F.S.A., to discover
either the Mayor's name or the slightest mention of the names of Moulson, Rosengrave, Orbs, or
Hargrave, — all anciently well-known Cheshire families, excepting Orbs, of which I know nothing.
A very old roll of the Ashburners was in existence some years since, and although going back to
the days of the Plantagenets, 1 do not remember among its emblazonry any other quarterings for
Ashburner.
The griffin crest is for Moulson, no doubt taken from the Hargreave coat, 'and the Moulson
motto is that engraved at the foot of these quarterings.— T. H.

* This Mr. John Harris was in the Cornwall Militia. His Commission as
Lieutenant to the company of his brother-in-law, Captain William Beauchamp,
bearing the date 1714. is still preserved by Sir Frederick Williams of Tregullow,
Baronet. Both Mr. Harris and his father appear, from family papers, to have lived
at St. Daye, in Gwennap, and there is therefore good reason for assuming them
to have derived from the Eichard, son of John Harrys of St. Issye, mentioned in
the preceding will.
Hals in his 'History of Cornwall' mentions Eichard Harris, Gent., of Trevance,
in the parish of St. Issye, who married Vivyan of Tollskiddy, his father, Moyle.
There is at Tregullow a deed of release " between Elizabeth Harris Widow on
the one side, and Edward Harris of Gunwalloe Gent. John Harris. Catherine Head
wife of Isaac Head Esq re controller of H.M. Customs in the Islands of Scilly, and
Susanna Williams, wife of Michael Williams of Gwennap. Gen*, children of Henry
Harris of Gwennap. Gent, recently deceased, who died intestate, on the other
side," which corroborates these latter entries. The armorial bearings on the seals
attached to this document are identical with those of Harris of Eadford. It is
dated 1768. M. W.
244 MISCELLANEA GENEALOGICA ET HEKALDICA.
American Genealogy. — In the British Museum there is a work called " Me-
morials of the Descendants of William Shattuck, the Progenitor of the Families in
America that have borne his name. By Lemuel Shattuck, Member of the Mass.
Historical Society, and of the American Antiquarian Society, etc. etc. Boston :
Printed by Dutton and Wentworth for the Family, 1855."
On pages 57 and 58, it states that "he was born in old England in 1621, and
died at Waterton, Mass., 1672," and that " his exact origin and early history are
involved in obscurity. The first lot of land granted to him is described upon the
records as follows, 1640 : ' William Chattuck, an Homstall,' " etc. etc.
The work is written to ascertain the English origin of the family, and contains
a perfect pedigree of the descendants of this William Chattuck down to 1855. If
the " legal personal representative " will write me as below, he " may hear of
something to his advantage," and that, too, not merely in a genealogical point of view.
Castle Bromwich, Warwickshire. C. ChattOCK.
Freer Pedigree. — A short pedigree of this family appeared some time ago in
' Miscellanea Genealogica.' In it, Helen Blair, wife of the Eev. Geo. Freer (c.
1660-1720), is stated to have been " of a good family in Perthshire." She was
a daughter of James Blair of Ardblair, and died 11th December, 1751 (see ■ Fasti
Ecclesise Scoticanse,' part iv. p. 805). There is a tolerably good account of the
Blairs of Ardblair in ' Douglas's Baronage.' Who is the present representative ?
F. M. S.
Deall: Arthur. — Samuel Deall was born at Staines, Middlesex County, in
1713. He had a brother William, who died at Staines, in March or April, 1775.
Samuel came to New York prior to 1758, in which year he married, in New York,
Elizabeth Arthur, daughter of [Francis] Arthur, of Bisley, Gloucestershire, Eng.
Any information respecting the origin and pedigree of these two families, or
either of them, is solicited by John J. Latting.
20, Nassau Street, New York, U. S. A.
Henry Wright (p. 188). — Pedigrees of the Wrights of Essex may be found
in the Harl. MSS. 1083, fol. 63 ; 1432, fol. 131b ; 1541, fol. 3 and 56 ; 1542, fol.
86. But nothing occurs in either of them about Henry Wright.
Lawrence Wright, M.D., who possessed Henham Hall, was the father of Sir
Henry Wright of the same place. The Doctor died October 3, 1657, and, with
Mary, his wife, lies buried in the church of South Weald, co. Essex. His son and
heir Henry was created a baronet June 11, 1660, and died February 5th, 1663,
aged 27 years. He married Anne, daughter of Lord John Crew of Stene (which
lady died September 27, 1708), by whom he had Sir Henry, who died (in 1681)
at the age of nineteen, unmarried ; and Anne, who, upon her brother's death,
became a great heiress. She married first to Edmond, son of Sir Eobert Pye, of
Farringdon, in Berkshire, and afterwards to William Eider, Esq. Sir Henry, the
first baronet, was buried with his father. Blomefield has given an elaborate
pedigree (vol. i. p. 545) of the Wrights of Kilverstone, co. Norfolk, but no men-
tion is made of this Sir Henry Wright, whose ancestors were of Kelvedon Hatch,
co. Essex (see Morant's 'Hist, of Essex,' vol. i. p. 62; vol. ii. p. 568: Wright's
4 Hist, of Essex,' vol. i., under Dagenham). The arms borne by this family are
given in the sixth edition of Guillim's 'Heraldry,' p. 262, — "Azure two bars
argent, in chief three leopards' heads or." These arms were borne by Sir Henry
Wright of Dagenham, and also by Sir Benjamin Wright of " Cranham Hall."
I think it should be -Henham Hall, in the same county of Essex. " Argent two
bars azure, on a chief of the second three leopards' faces of the field, was borne by
the name of Wright." It was allowed and confirmed by William Flower, Nor-
roy, December 18, 1583, and in the 26 of Eliz. to Eichard Wright, Serjeant-at-
Arms, the son of John Wright of Bickley, in the County Palatine of Chester.
Guillim refers to a MS. of grants in Ashmolean Lib., No. 844. A pedigree of
this branch of the family is given in Ormerod's ' History of Cheshire,' vol. ii. p.
389. W. Winters.

Carville of Isham, who married Robert Holdenby of Holdenby, and was mother
of William Holdenby of Isham.

John Holdenby of Holdenby, nephew of the preceding, married Joan daughter

NOTES TO TASWELL PEDIGREE.
Communicated by T. P. Taswell-Langmead, B.C.L., of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister-at-law.
* This christian name is erroneously entered as "James," instead of "William." See next note.
f The bnptism of James Tazewell is thus entered in the parish register of Buckland Newton : —
' Julii 1588. Vicesimo quinto die mensis prsedicti baptizatus fuit Jacobus Tanswell (sic) filius
Will' mi Tanswell de Buckland." His first wife Mary, daughter of — Hunt of Forston, Char-
minter, Co : Dorset, died in 1659, and was buried at Haselbury Bryan, Co : Dorset, in the registers
of which parish is the following entry : — " Burials, a.d. 1659. Maria uxor Jacobi Tazwell Gen.
obiit 19 Jan"." In the " Autobiography of William Taswell, D.D.," (his grandson), published
by the Camden Society in 1852, it is stated (p. 8) : —
" In the same year, 1662, ray grandfather James Taswell of Dorsetshire came to Town, aged
74, born in the year 1588. Staying a little time with us only, he soon returned into the country,
and took his own servant to wife : he begat a son the same year of her. He departed this life
1663. On the day he was celebrating his wife's birthday, he drank too much wine, which threw
him into a fever."
By his will (proved in the Court of the Archdeacon of Dorset in 1663), in which he is described
as " James Taswell of Haselbury Bryan;" he gives " to my sonne James Taswell one shilling •" " to
my daughter Mary Young one shilling;" "to my kinsman Ttalphe Taswell one sute of aparrell ; "
" to my kinsman Richard Taswell one sute of aparrell ; " " all the rest of my goods moveable and
unmoveable I give and bequeath unto my wife Aner whom I do make executrix of this my last will."
It appears, by Hutchins' History of Dorset, that the Hunt family held the Manor of Forston.
On the death, in 1683, of Anne, daughter and heiress of Henry Hunt, Esq., of Forston, the
estate descended to her issue by her second husband, George Browne, Esq., a younger son of the
Brownes of Frampton.
X James Tazewell of London Merchant, and of Limington Manor, Somerset, married (1)
26 March 1649, Elizabeth daughter of — Upsal of Co : Dorset, (born 1624— died 1667), and (2)
in 1673, Elizabeth daughter of John Kingsmill of Andover, Esq. (She died July, 1702, s.p.) He
died 26 March, 1683.
In his son's autobiography (p. 25) we read : —
"Not long after the barbarous murther of Charles the First, James Taswell married Elizabeth
Upsal, a person accomplished as to her person, sensible, and of a very good extraction. He was a
considerable merchant in the Isle of Wight, and connected himself to her March 26, 1649."
Id. p. 7. " About the end of March 1655, James Taswell Esq., retiring from the Isle of Wight
with his wife and three children settled at a sea-port Town, Brithamston, Sussex, where his mother-
in-law, my grandmother, lived." . ... "In June 1656, we took a journey to London. After
residing in an house for the space of a year, in which time all of us were seized with the small-pox
(1657), about the middle of summer we took a very grand house in Bear Lane near the Custoni-
House."
Id. p. 15. " 1673, my father married Elizabeth Kingsmill, sister of one of the. same name,
with a fortune of £600, at Andover."
In 1663, James Tazewell, who was seised of the Manor of South Brent, Somerset, and of other
lands in that county, and in the adjoining county of Devon, purchased the Manor and Advowson
of Limington, Co : Somerset. He rebuilt the Manor House at Limington in 1672. The house was
again rebuilt about thirty years since, and only a wing of the old building erected in 1672 is
now standing. A stone with the name of " James Tazewell," arms, and date 1672, which formerly
appeared on the front of the old Manor House, is now in the possession of Mr. T. P. Taswell-
Langmead.
§ Besides the children enumerated in the pedigree, James Tazewell had : — Maria, born 29 Dec.
1649, died aged 8 months ; Elizabeth, born 7 July 1653, and died soon after ; Ann, born Nov.,
1659, died soon after; and Maria, born Feb. 1667, died soon after.
Of the children mentioned in the pedigree, James the eldest son and heir, born 20 Feb. 1650,
succeeded his father in the Manor of Limington. He married Ann daughter of — Kingsmill, Esq.
and had three sons and three daughters. The eldest son James, died s.p. The second, John Taswell
of Ch : Ch : Oxford, M. A., was vicar of Chewton, Somerset, (a living in the patronage of the Kingsmill
family), and died without male issue. The third, William Tazewell, bap : 17 July 1690, emigrated
to Virginia, America, in 1715, where he married in 1721, Sophia, daughter of Henry Hermanson by
his wife Gertrude daughter of Col 1 . Southey Littleton. He died in 1752, leaving issue, now repre-
sented by John Nivison Tazewe l, Esq., of Norfolk, Virginia, U.S.A., son of the late Littleton
Waller Tazewell, Governor of Virginia.
William Taswell, D.D.,the second son, born 1 st May 1652, was an eminent scholar and divine.
Enrolled a King's Scholar of Westminster School, 1667 ; elected Student of Ch : Ch : Oxford,
1670 ; Professor of Greek, 1681 ; Rector of Woodnorton, Norfolk, 1691 ; Rector of S l . Mary
Newington, Surrey, 1698 ; Rector of S*. Mary's, Birmingham, 1723. He died in 1731 and was
buried in the Chancel of S l . Mary's Newington. He married 21 May, 1695, Frances daughter and
co-heir of Edward Lake, D.D., Archdeacon of Exeter, Chaplain and Tutor to the Princesses Mary
and Anne, daughters of James II., and had issue. He is now represented by his descendant the
Rev d . George Taswell, M.A., of B. N. C, Oxford.

American Genealogy. — Many readers will be interested in hearing that my
former query under this heading has been instrumental in supplying a link
missing for some two centuries and a half, and may probably lead to the discovery
of another of a much earlier date. I should now be very pleased to hear of or
from any one in America of the name of Chad, Chads, or Shad. The latter has
appeared in lists of American surnames, and I believe is synonymous with Chad ;
and if so, it is a very curious coincidence that C should have interchanged with
8 in America, both in Chattuck and Chad, as in the Philological Society Papers
for 18G5, p. 47, it is stated that " in the new American Dictionary projected by
Franklin in 17G8, the soft sound of c is supplied by s." One of this family I know
' died in America about the year 1739.

GENEALOGY OE THE FAMILY OF PALMER, OF KENMAEE
CO. KERRY, IRELAND.
Compiled from old family documents, etc., in possession of Edward Orpen Palmer,
Killowen, Kenmare, Co. Kerry, Esquire, the present Head of the Family, by
his son, the Rev. A. Henry Herbert Palmer, of MonJcstown, Co. Dublin.
fteto* ®i)omm palmer.
Concerning the Rev d Thomas Palmer, founder of the Palmer family of Kenmare,
Co. Kerry, the following are the chief particulars recorded or known.* He was
(it is stated) for some time in early youth in some way connected with or attached
to Anne Hyde, wife of J ames II. At a subsequent period, the date of which is not
exactly ascertained, he was admitted to Holy Orders, and for some reasons, only
matter of conjecture, came over to Ireland and cast in his lot with the English
settlers in that country. His name appears in the Visitation Bookf of Diocese of
Cloyne Oct. 27 th 1609, as Vicar of Clonfert and Tullilease and Rector of Knock-
temple. In 1670, as appears from a document in Rolls Office Court of Chancery,
Dublin, he was appointed through royal favour to the Crown livings of Kilmare
(now Kenmare), Kilgarvan, Templenoe, Kilcroghan, and Cahirciveen (Diocese of
Ardfert and Aghadoe). He was appointed to the commission of the peace for the
County Kerry on 15 th May 1679. He was also Judge of the Admiralty Court of
Munster, and of the Consistorial Court of Ardfert and Aghadoe. The most pro-
minent event of his life was the defence of the Fort of Killowen, commonly called
the " White House,;};" by the Protestant colony of Kenmare under his command,
united with Richard Orpen, Esq., agent to Sir William Petty, against some
thousands of the Irish forces of James II. Harassed by repeated raids of the
native Irish on their cattle, farms, and homesteads, the whole Protestant population
of the district, in fear of their lives and unable to procure any help, resolved to
bring their families to a common place of safety, and associated! themselves as a
garrison of the fort with its outworks under the leadership of their Rector and
his son-in-law Mr. Orpen. They expected an English army to land immediately
in Munster for the rescue of the various colonies of Protestants scattered through-
out the province, but the desired relief never came ; and abandoned to their fate
in a remote corner of the island, after a brief but stout resistance, during a siege
* There is some doubt as to his parentage, which is strange in the case of a man, as he was, of
some note, and only to be explained by t v e almost total severance from kindred which emigration
to Ireland in those times involved. It has been asserted that he is identical with the person named
in the following extract from the Admission Book of Christ's Church College, Cambridge. " A.D.
1658, Julii 10 th Thomas Palmer Johannis Leicestriensis filius, natus apud Harborough, ibidemque
educatus sub ferula Mag" Berry, annos natus 14. Admissus est sizator sub Mag rw Burnet,
spondente Mag™ Pepper." And who took his B.A. degree in 1662, and his M.A. in 1668. If so
he comes of a very old family mentioned in a.d. 1447. Vid. Burton's History of Leicestershire,
published 1623, pp. 54, 94, 95, 127.
But the belief has always obtained that he was the eldest son of a distinguished family in
Northamptonshire, said to have died young, but did not. He came to Ireland owing, it is supposed,
to some domestic difference, and chose to live and die forgotten in another land.
Any information or useful suggestion touching this matter will be gladly received. H. Herbert -
Palmer, Clk. Monkstown, Co. Dub.
f Vid. Dr. Brady's "Records of Cork," vol. ii. page 129. The entry in V. B. is as follows:
" 1669, Oct. 27 th Thomas Palmer, V. Clonfert & Tullilease. & R. Knocktemple, per mortem
Roberti Booth." His successor in these livings was Richard Davies, July 21 st , 1671.
% Its ivy-clad ruins overhanging the banks of the beautiful river Roughty are still standing
on the lands of Killowen in possession of E. Orpen Palmer Esq., the present head of the family.
§ The following is a verbatim copy of the oath. " Association. W e the undersigned do hereby
in defence of our lives and religion associate ourselves in a body within the Fort of Killowen
against the enemies of the Protestant Church and will from time to time to the utmost of our
power behave ourselves according to all such directions as shall be given us by Tbomas Palmer
and Richard Orpen for our management and safety until we are received into command of His
Highness the Prince of Orange. In testimony whereof we have taken our oaths upon the Holy
Evangelists and put our hands and seals this last day of January 168f ."

which has attracted much notice,* they capitulated on honourable terms. These
terms were however shamefully brokenf by the enemy, and the brave but unhappy
garrison, plundered, deceived, and crowded (only eight families of skilled iron-
workers being held back by the Irish) into two small vessels, only succeeded at last
in making their way to Bristol on March 25th, after much hardship and in sorry
plight Mr. Palmer, it would seem, after a short stay in Eugland, came back to his
old home and work at Kilmare with his little band of settlers, and spent the
remaining tenj years of his life and ministry among them.§ It was during this
period, if not before, (Sir B. Burke and Dr. Brady erroneously, it is thought, say
1052) that he obtained several grants of land in estate, also some on lease renew-
able for ever, embracing the present town of Kenmare and surrounding district,
which in 1770, through legal ignorance on the part of the then possessor, became
the property of the Earl of Shelburne. ||
Rev. Thomas Palmer was married twice. First, in 1G69 to Jane Mary, d. of
Sir William (or Sir Richard) Aldworth of Duhallow or Newmarket, Co. Cork.

X Rev. T. Palmer must have been dead in 1702, for his son in that year leased ground at
Kenmare to Government for site of barracks. All the early parish Records of Kenmare were
unhappily destroyed in a fire at the Rectory in early part of present century.
§ Much interesting information is contained in another rare pamphlet, also by Richard Orpen,
in Library of Trinity College, Dublin, (marked, "Pamphlets" P. pp. 8.) entitled "The London
Master or the Jew detected." It gives an account of the fraudulent and wilful shipwreck of a ship
called the " Laurel " in the River Kenmare, — and contains a solemn statement by Rev d Thomas
Palmer " in verbo sacerdotis " — giving his opinion on the matter — relating also a grievous calamity
which the shelter and lodging he gave to the shipwrecked sailors with their goods brought on
himself, viz. the burning and robbing of his own house at the " Sound," Kenmare, at midnight,
January 29 th 1693 by the " Tories."
His life was saved on that occasion by the influence which his wife Julia, a native Chieftain's
daughter, possessed with the Irish Robbers, but documents of the greatest value and interest were

Reference is also made to him and M r . Orpen, and a great number of Nobility, Dignitaries and Gentry
by Archbishop King, who gives at length an Act of Attainder passed against them in the Irish.
Parliament, from which the following is an extract:— "An Act for the Attainder of divers Rebels,
and for preserving the Interest of Loyal Subjects. Humbly beseech your Majesty, the Commons
in this present Parliament assembled, That whereas a most horrible Invasion was made by your
unnatural Enemy the Prince of Orange, invited thereunto and assisted by many of your Majesty's
rebellious and traiterous subjects .... having likewise to obtain their wicked ends raised and
levied open Rebellion and War in several places in this Kingdom, and entered into Associations
and met in Conventions in order to call in and set up the said Prince of Orange. „ . . That it
may be enacted . . . that the persons hereafter named, being Persons who have notoriously
joyned in the said Rebellion and Invasion, and some of which are upon Indictments condemned,
some executed for High Treason, and the rest ran away, or abscond, or are now in the actual service
of the Prince of Orange against your Majesty (viz.) Richard Orpin of
Gorthinlinny Gent Tho. Palmer of Gortaglass Clerk, &c. all late of the county Kerry
every of them shall be deemed, taken & reputed, and are hereby declared and
adjudged Tray tors, and shall suffer such pains of Death,Penalties, & Forfeitures, respectively as
in cases of High Treason are accustomed."
Provided however, the Act proceeds, that if the attainted Persons surrendered themselves to
stand their trial by the tenth day of August, 1689, and shall be acquitted, that then and in such
case they should be freed from the above pains and penalties. Vid. Archbishop King's " State of
the Protestants of Ireland under the late K. James s Government."— WW. Append. 1-17.

f The following is the passage alluded to. "There is a favour I have to ask your Grace which
is that your Grace would be pleased to order M r . George Palmer to be presented
to the said Rectories. M r . Palmer is a clergyman of a very fair character in my diocese, and was
born in that neighbourhood, or he would hardly have the courage to think of removing into

WYNNE, OF PENIARTH, PEDIGREE.
Communicated by W. W. E. Wynne, Esq. of Peniarth.
In drawing up the following Pedigree, the compiler has not entered into the
earlier descent of the Geraldine race from Other, a possessor of many Lordships
in Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Middlesex, and Wilts, in the time of
Edward the Confessor, nor the question of his alleged descent from the Gherardeni,
ancient Lords of Tuscany. They are to be found in many of the peerages,
and, in particular, in that valuable account of his own family by the present
Marquis of Kildare.
Such as this Pedigree is, it has been compiled with much care ; as to that part
of it prior to the settlement in Wales of a branch of the Geraldines, from the
best historical evidences which the compiler could obtain, and after the settlement
of that branch in Wales, from a Tnx Eoll of the county of Merioneth of 1293-4
in the Public Record Office, Ministers' Accounts of the Crown during a long series
of years, in the same Repository, the family deeds, and parochial Registers, and
all these confirming the original Heraldic Visitation by Lewis Dwnn, in the
Hengwrt collection, and many other pedigrees in the same collection and elsewhere.
" It has been said that the three most noble names in Europe are : the De
Vere's of England, the EitzGerald's of Ireland, and the Montmorency's of
Prance." (See Quarterly Review for April, 1860, p. 335.) Of these families,
the first is extinct, the second yet occupies its former high position, as we believe
does the third, in France.
It is well known to those conversant in Welsh history and genealogy, that
a branch of the noble sept of the Geraldines, or FitzGeralds, — Osborn, sur-
named "Wyddel" (the Irishman),— settled in Merionethshire in the thirteenth
century, and was founder of some of the most distinguished families in that
county. Of these, the powerful houses of Yaughan of Corsygedol, and Wynne of
Ynysymaengwyn and Maesyneuadd, are extinct ; the Wynnes of Peniarth continue
to flourish. 1
Some of the members of the Geraldine line settled in Wales have been dis-
tinguished for their literary attainments. Of these, Cadwalader Wynne, rector of
Llanenddwyn, who died in 1684, translated from Latin into English, a work very
scarce in its English form, entitled An Antidote against Sorrow, published in 1650.
A more eminent literary member of this house was the well-known " Bardd Cwsg,"
the Rev. Ellis Wynne, rector of Llanvair-juxta-Harlech, who died in 1734 ; and
since his time lived his relation, William Wynne, rector of Llangynhaval, a dis-
tinguished Welsh poet of the eighteenth century. Amongst the warriors of the
house may be mentioned the celebrated David ap Ievan ap Einion, Constable of
Harlech Castle during the Wars of the Roses, who is so honourably referred to in
the Life of Lord Herbert of Cherbury. (See Life of Lord Herbert, pp. 7, 8,
Strawberry Hill edition ; and Pennant's Tour, vol. ii. p. 131, edition 1784, 4to ;
also Hist, of the Gwedir Family, 8vo edition, p. 76.)
It may be added that it is probable that Osborn Wyddel was much concerned
in the building of the very interesting and beautiful church of Llanaber near
Barmouth.

THE GERALDINES IN IRELAND.
PEDIGREE,
Showing how Osborn, styled by the "Welsh heralds, " "Wyddel" (the Irishman),
was connected with the Geraldines of Desmond, if the belief of the late Sir
"William Betham, Ulster-King-at-Arms, after a search among his voluminous
Geraldine papers, was correct, that Osborn was a son of John Eitz Thomas Eitz
Maurice Eitz Gerald de Windsor, the first Lord of Decies and Desmond. It is,
indeed, improbable that he was a son of any other Geraldine of Desmond. He
could not have been son of an earlier one, and it is very unlikely that he was
of a later.
" Ye Geraldines ! ye Geraldines ! how royally ye reigned
O'er Desmond broad and rich Kildare, and English arts disdained ;
Your sword made knights, your banner waved, free was your bugle call,
By Glyn's green slopes and Dingle's tide, from Barrow's banks to Youghal.
What gorgeous shrines, what Brehon lore, what minstrel feasts there were
In and around Maynooth's 2 strong keep and palace-filled Adare !
But not for rite or feast ye stayed when friend or kin were pressed ;
And foemen fled when { Crom a boo 3 ' bespoke your lance in rest."
ThoiSas Davis.

NOTES TO WYNNE PEDIGREE.
1 It may be added, that the Rev (1 . John Wynne, who has recently resigned the vicarage of
Llandrillo, in Edernion, is lineally descended from Osborn.
2 Maynooth was one of the strongholds of the Kildare branch of the Geraldines.
3 " Crom a boo " was the war-cry of the Kildare, C£ Shanet a boo," of the Desmond line of this sept.
4 According to Sir W m . Betham, it was in 1260 ; in Smith's Kerry, it is said to have been in
1261 ; by the Calendarium Genealogicum, published under the authority of the Master of the Rolls,
it appears to have been upon the Vigil of S'. James the Apostle, 45 Hen. III. (24 July, 1261.)
5 Sir W m . Betham did not think that he had the same strong grounds for his opinion that Osborn
was a son of the first marriage as for believing that he was a son of John Fitz Thomas ; but he
thought it more probable that he was so.
6 The tradition is that Thomas Fitz Maurice was only nine months old when his father and
grandfather were slain at the battle of Callan. The child was at Tralee, and on his attendants
rushing out, alarmed at the intelligence, he was left alone in the cradle, when a tame baboon or ape
took him up in his arms, and ran with him to the top of the tower of the neighbouring Abbey.
After carrying him round the battlement, and exhibiting him to the frightened spectators, he
brought the infant back to its cradle in safety. Thomas was in consequence surnamed " An Appagh "
(in Irish), "Simiacus," or " the Ape." The Earls of Kildare, p. 21.
7 M r . Vaughan, the eminent genealogist and antiquary of Hengwrt, in a MS. written in 1654,
observes of Osborn, that he " was a nobleman's son of Desmond in Ireland, of y e famous family of
the Giraldines." The arms as they have been borne by his lineal descendants, so long as there are
examples of them extant, are precisely the same as those of the house of Desmond. The Crest too, is
exactly similar to that of the sixth Earl of Desmond, with these slight exceptions : in the one, the
boar is argent, in the other, ermine, in the one it is charged with a fret, in the other fretty. The
crescent for difference, as borne by Osborn's descendants, would imply that he was a second son,
but it is not known how long it has been used. It is so found in a MS. written by the well-kuown
Welsh herald and genealogist, Griffith Hiraethog, between the years 1555 and 1562 inclusive. It
is stated by Gutyn Owen, a genealogist of the fifteenth century, one of the most eminent of our
Welsh genealogists, that Osborn accompanied from Ireland to Wales, Griffith, one of the sons of
Ednyved Vychan, minister to Prince Llewelyn, Griffith being obliged to leave his country for a
time, on account of some scandal regarding Llew.elyn's princess and himself, having emigrated to
Ireland. This is very probable, as Griffith was connected by blood with the Geraldines.

9 "The ofspring or posteritie of these bretheren" (the sons of Einion) " did so multiply, y l from
y l time they are called Tylwyth Union, y l is y e progenie of Enion." — Manuscript in the autograph

of the sept of Einion," a poem of the fiftoenth century, by Gutto'r Glyn, an eminent Welsh poet
and genealogist.
10 It would seem probable from a deed at Peniarth, dated 20 April 28 Hen. VIII., that Ievan
ap Rhys had another wife, by whom he had a son named Morgan, and a daughter, Katharine,
married to William ap Madoc Vychan, by whom she had a son named Rytherch ; for by this deed,
Katherine conveys to her son Rytherch, certain lands in Pennyved & Llandecwin, which had
descended to her on the death of Morgan her brother. If by descended, descent in law, without a
conveyance, is intended, she and Morgan could not have been own sister and brother to John ap
Ievan, as the lands of Morgan would in that case have gone to J ohn, even under the law of gavelkind,
then prevailing in Wales.
11 Sir Robert Owen was M.P. for the Co. of Merioneth in the 5 th Pari, of Charles II. (1680-1),
and for the Carnarvon Boroughs in the Convention Pari. (1688-9), and in the second (1689-90),
and third (1691), Parliaments of W m . & Mary. He died M.P. for those Boroughs, 30 March
1698-9, and was buried at Selattyn, April 11.
